Hello everybody,

I'm interested if there is any known and "official" numb= er
around the community concerning the maximum crosswind
(perpendicular) component for a LNC2 landing.

The setting is: L320, extended wings, big tail, reinforced UC section
=
with outback wheels.=A0[I set my max around 20 knots].

<= /div>
Thank you for any comments =96 they are welcome=85
