What is the maximum surface wind limitation for taxi operations?

The maximum surface wind limitation for taxi operations is set at 30 knots. This limitation is important for several reasons, primarily related to safety and operational effectiveness. Exceeding this wind limitation can significantly affect the pilot’s ability to control the aircraft during taxiing, which can lead to loss of directional control or difficulty in maintaining the desired path on the taxiway.

Strong winds can create a risk during taxi operations, particularly when dealing with crosswinds or gusty conditions, making it essential that these limits are adhered to in order to prevent potential accidents or incidents on the ground. The establishment of these wind limitations is based on extensive testing and operational experience, ensuring a balance between safety and operational efficiency.

While the other options suggest higher limits, they surpass the established maximum that is deemed safe for conducting taxi operations in the CRJ 200, thereby highlighting the importance of adhering to the appropriate guidelines for wind conditions during these critical phases of flight.
