Narrative:
Taxiing out to takeoff at ewr ATIS calling WX clear, good visibility, winds 310/18 KTS. Tower calling winds 310/19 KTS. Commenced takeoff on runway 22R. On takeoff roll we overheard tower give another aircraft the winds of 300 to 310 at 19 KTS gusting to 30-33 KTS. This gust factor was never given to us. Thus, we made a takeoff with reported xwinds that were much higher than we anticipated, and xwinds that were close to the limiting xwinds of the aircraft. The takeoff was normal and no significant winds were encountered, but it would have been appropriated that we be advised of these significant gust factors.

THUS, WE MADE A TKOF WITH RPTED XWINDS THAT WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN WE ANTICIPATED, AND XWINDS THAT WERE CLOSE TO THE LIMITING XWINDS OF THE ACFT. THE TKOF WAS NORMAL AND NO SIGNIFICANT WINDS WERE ENCOUNTERED, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED THAT WE BE ADVISED OF THESE SIGNIFICANT GUST FACTORS.
