OK, thanks Cough. That's what I thought...about the same for wet T/O as the 737-3/4/5 (i.e. 25kts wet).
A few days ago I was on the ramp at Cork airport when a B737-200 departed with winds that were reported by the tower as 120/30 gusting 40 (in lashing rain).
That equates to a crosswind of 23 (mean) or 30 (gust) on runway 17 (wet).
I suppose the airline in question must use the mean value only in assessing crosswind. If not they were outside limits.
Interestingly no-one else (including the other 737 on the ramp) was moving.
So whats the SOP in your airline? When calculating crosswind, must you use mean wind or gust?
