I will give it a go.
Pilots are responsible for the safety of the plane at all times when driving one.
There are aircraft minima that each aircraft manufacturer sets as the capability of the plane. The airline will have set further minima for it's own operations and it may even have further minima stated for certain airports like those mentioned here.
On top of that, the CAA have published absolute minima that an airport operator can prevent an aircraft taking off in. If its in the air however, you just have to give the plane driver the most accurate info you have available.
As far as winds are concerned, the aircraft type will detail its crosswind component which the pilot can use to work out various things like approach speeds, runway in use, yaw angles, fuel loads and other such stuff including whether or not they can indeed accept the runway in use.
Public transport aircraft must get the weather at the destination airport before departure, and also from the diversionary selcted airports choosen for that route.
We have a table of crosswind components that pilots use to decide if they want to take off or not for our airport.
You are not meant to land any aircraft with a greater tail wind velocity of 11mph.
I can't remember the rest.
CAA flight standards department will have it all somewhere.
That any good?
And just for good measure, you are meant to study the weather conditions on route too. Pilots take a Met exam, as we did, to learn about weather they see out of the window. The Met Office web site has an avaition service which you can get good info on before you set off. Good pilots will have this with them.
We are putting in a wi-fi system in our pilot breifing room for just such reasons.
