I thought that landing with FC=< 0.25 were not authorized, but maybe that's just my company.....

@ Milan N

That depends:

With a Braking Coeffincient of 0.25 and below, there is a Crosswind Limit of 5kt.

Generally the decision to land rest with the Commander. Considering the runway condition he may decide, that a landing is unsafe and choose to divert.

Landing on a icy runway for example is not permitted.

So long,
