Plus i spent +/- 1000 hours in the right seat with some great teachers so when i made capt I had a decent foundation.....plus I got another 100 +/- hours of good line indoc. Crosswind limits in flight manuals are usually mentioned as "demonstrated crosswind". Should be mentioned that the company had an excellent safety record. You pick and choose your days with doing this. Sounds like you work (worked) in the same place I do haha. Or close to it. I’m on Baffin, no trees anywhere, short gravel runways, and lots of mountains and fjords. It’s great fun!

If so, you should be signing up to be real world airliner pilots......or disabling auto landings. Basically yes. I’ve never had a crosswind on an icy runway where I’ve had to deviate IRL; there are rules about what we land on, what the friction is, etc…. And if we can’t do it safely, we go somewhere else.
