We are all familiar with the usual cross and tail wind limits for our respective aircraft and headwind for autolanding.
What about absolute wind limits not exceeding the above . We have no guidance at my operator, how high a wind value would you accept even remaining within limits ?
Example, a 50-60 knot headwind or greater, apart from the potential shear considerations how about just taxiing around the airport, hazards such as objects blowing at you , aircraft weathervaning etc..
Interested in your respective procedures.
