@ Sparrow_start Are you actually a pilot? ATC has no idea what tail wind component applies to your A/C or authority for that matter. They only know the magnetic direction of the wind relative to the runway. PIC needs to calculate whether his/her bird can handle it. This was poorly done as Rwy 23 was available METAR was wind 260 16G21 500 bkn….RNAV 23 easily doable
