Minimum runway width
100 ft/30m
Maximum crosswind demonstrated for takeoff
38 kt*
*The maximum demonstrated crosswind value is not an Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
limitation: It is the maximum crosswind condition experienced during the aircraft
certification campaign. Airbus recommends that operators should not intentionally
operate in crosswinds that exceed this value.
Maximum crosswind demonstrated for landing
38 kt*
Maximum tailwind for takeoff (319 & 320)
15 kts
Maximum tailwind for landing (319, 320 & 321)
10 kts
NORMAL & NARROW RUNWAY LENGTHS
A normal runway is any runway at least 150 ft/45m wide.
A narrow runway is any runway less than 150 ft/45m wide.
Maximum wind for passenger door operation
65 kt
Maximum wind for cargo door operation
40 kt/*50 kt
- If the aircraft nose is oriented into the wind, or if the cargo door is on the leeward
side of the aircraft, operation of the cargo door is permitted in winds up to 50
knots. If wind speed begins to exceed these limitations, the cargo door must be
closed before the wind speed exceeds 65 kts.
Maximum VMO/MMO
