It's the same across the UK E-J, i guess it's the perfect opportunity to practice crosswind landings too  ;D

Good idea ;)

(rwy36R@EHAM, wind 26027G39)

Yes, I landed rwy24 first, but that was no sport. took exit S6, then took off again to try 36R. I now know why the demonstrated X-wind for the C172 is only 15 kts  :P
