It's impressive that they stayed on the centerline as well as they did with that amount of sideloading.
Agreed!

Duh! I should hope anyone here would understand what max demonstrated means.
For folks not familiar with Republic's SOP, we are hard limited to 28kts crosswind, which is a
less than the max demonstrated, which I mention for people not familiar with the type.
As an additional datapoint, S5 (Shuttle America) has no limitation. Their SOP actually just lists the max demonstrated for various conditions. Which is NOT how the YX manual reads, even though we are the same company.
