Though wind is reported using such simple numbers like 270@15G20, I’ve come to believe that 20 knots here is not always the same as 20 knots there.

The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.

Jet (and turboprop) turbine engines work more efficiently, and burn less fuel, at higher altitudes where the air is less dense. In gusty conditions, for example, crews tend to add a few knots to their touchdown speed, which allows for fluctuations in airspeed while on final approach.
