For the CRJ 900/700, what is the maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing under wet conditions?

The maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing under wet conditions for the CRJ 900/700 is indeed 27 knots. This limitation is crucial as it ensures safe operations when the runway surface is compromised due to moisture, which can reduce traction and affect the aircraft's handling characteristics during critical phases of flight, such as takeoff and landing.

Understanding this limitation helps pilots to assess the conditions and determine if it's safe to proceed with the flight. Exceeding the prescribed crosswind limits can increase the risk of losing control or having difficulty maintaining the desired flight path, especially on a wet runway where the risks of skidding or hydroplaning are elevated. By adhering to this limitation, pilots can promote a safer flying environment while maintaining adequate control of the aircraft in less-than-ideal weather conditions.
