A relative is working on a PPL using a Diamond DA20. The FBO has a
policy of no student solos with more than 5 knots crosswind component.
Do other FBOs do this? As a result he is having trouble scheduling his
solo cross countries.

A college buddy of mine might not have had a fatal solo if the FBO had, and
enforced, a crosswind limit.



Although crosswind accidents are not unusual, a fatal accident is rare.
It would be beneficial to learn from this accident. Do you have the
NTSB reference for this?
