A320 Limitation

The A320 has the following key limitations: - Maximum g-forces of -1 to +2.5. Maximum altitude is 39,800 feet. Minimum and maximum temperatures for take-off and landing depend on altitude. - Minimum runway width is 30 meters, nominal is 45 meters. Crosswind and tailwind limitations vary based on runway conditions. - Speed limitations include 200 knots for cockpit windows, 230 knots for windshield wipers, and 350 knots maximum speed. Flaps have specific speed limitations. - Autoflight systems have altitude, wind, and weight limitations for different phases of flight like approach and autoland. GPWS must be inhibited within 15nm of certain
