Narrative:

Upon switching to atl tower for landing in atl the wind given was 320 degrees at 41 KTS. I (the first officer and the PNF) checked the wind component chart and determined the crosswind component to be 31 KTS. I told the captain the crosswind exceeded our 30 KT limit by 1 KT. He said 'we're ok.' I said 'the wind is 320 degrees at 25 KTS gust 41 KTS, that puts us out of limits.' he said 'we'll watch it.' we landed uneventfully, but I feel, legally, we were out of limits because that was the last wind we heard from the tower before touchdown. At touchdown I believe the wind was much less than our maximum, but you know how the FAA determines legality.
