From the accident report/diagram the wind at 30 cannots was straight up the tail pipe whilst the Pilot Notes said there was an issue with windy up yur pipe starts but no mention of a windspeed limit - that is NOT helpful - NOW there is a limit of 20 cannots. I reckon some thoughtful appreciation of the prevailing weather / wind would have caused the aircraft to be parked arseabout. A handy 17 million dollar lesson methinks.
