My Emeraude has (I believe) a demonstrated Xwind of 12kts.
I have 200hrs total time.
I have landed "sucessfully" with 14kts Xwind at 90deg on tarmac.
Also once with wind 130mag/25kts. grass runway 06, not pretty & I cheated a bit, diagonally across the strip.
I am convinced the a/c demonstrated is a bit conservative even for a 610kg taildragger. However, I have no intention of kidding myself that my limit is any better than 12kt.
As an aside , if there are any taildragging instructors within striking distance of Crail (Fife) I could do with some help!! PM if pos.
