Approaching EDDL today, METAR announced 13 kts winds and ATC announced 12 kts winds during final, but ND in my Fenix A320 reported winds from 40 kts at around 1000 ft and 35 kts just before touch down, and strong gusts… Almost crashed.

Flew into Tampa sim Metar and Fenix Gusting 14to20 Sim gives me 60 knots cross wind from 5000 all the way to the ground.

Next one is these crazy wind changes when Updating the weather is crazy in cruise I crashed yesterday almost 2 times because of AP diconnects. How we are going to fly long flights and cant´t walk away for a couple of minutes because the wind changes could crash my 12 hour flights ?
