What is the maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing under Condition Code 3 - "FAIR" in the CRJ 900/700?

The determination of the maximum crosswind component for takeoff and landing under Condition Code 3, which is labeled "FAIR," is based on the aircraft's handling characteristics and operational guidelines set by the manufacturer. For the CRJ 900/700, the maximum crosswind component in these conditions is 20 knots.

This limit ensures that the aircraft can be operated safely within the prescribed parameters, allowing the pilots to maintain control during takeoff and landing maneuvers. The "FAIR" condition indicates that runway conditions are acceptable, but not ideal, which necessitates a conservative approach to crosswind operations. Exceeding this limit could lead to difficulty in maintaining directional control during both phases of flight, particularly during the critical moments of takeoff and landing.
