The forecast is close to the aircraft's wind limit, but still technically below it. How can the pilot avoid turning the decision into an argument with the client at launch time?

Answer

Set a conservative go/no go threshold before the job, including a margin for gusts and forecast uncertainty. Tell the client that the flight will be delayed or cancelled if that threshold is exceeded.

Explanation

A manufacturer limit is a boundary, not a planning target. Pre agreed stop criteria make it easier to protect a safety margin when schedule pressure appears.
