Default RE: Judging to much wind?

A big factor is what is upwind of the landing strip.

If you have trees or buildings that could cause turbulence then you need to stop flying a lot sooner. 10 knots might be max.

I used to teach people on a smooth site and if the trainer could make forward progress we flew. It was windy old England!

I would not let them land on those days though!
