It depends on where the winds are. A 25 knot headwind makes for a
nice touchdown or fast liftoff! G

I've never seen winds at 25 knots that were not gusty though. I do
know a CFI who took off in a C-152, then landed back on the numbers w/
o ever changing heading (and he didn't fly around the earth first).
