What is the maximum crosswind component for takeoff on a dry runway?

The maximum crosswind component for takeoff on a dry runway for the ERJ series is established by the aircraft manufacturer based on extensive testing and operational limits. For the ERJ series, this limit is defined as 38 knots. This maximum crosswind component ensures that the aircraft can maintain adequate control during takeoff under crosswind conditions, which is crucial for the safety of the flight.

The testing protocols involve simulating various crosswind scenarios during takeoff operations, assessing factors such as aircraft handling characteristics, control surface effectiveness, and pilot workload. The established limit is designed to prevent loss of control and ensure that pilots can effectively manage the aircraft in adverse weather conditions. Thus, operational adherence to this limit allows for safe and reliable performance during takeoff in crosswind situations.
