Say the wind at 500' is a 30kt TW and the wind on the runway is a 5kt TW. Flaps 3 probably won't have enough drag to decelerate the aircraft during the approach as the tailwind dies and maintain whatever stable approach SOP's you use. Hence, despite the fact that you can make a smoother landing, can you make a safe approach?
