I was on it and it was rough enough taking off with winds from the south... deviated from centerline a bit once we were up (fine) but I'm just intrigued how close we would have been to crosswind limits. Probably not very close but I'd still be interested. Thanks!

For example with the latest METAR at DUB (210 at 20kts gusting 34kts) on RWY16, the x-wind would be 21kt.
