I'm pretty sure it's greater than 10 knots tailwind, if you see the design limitation that is.... An Airbus 330 usually says stop at 16 knots, and the Dash 8 goes all the way up to 20 knots, and I've had 737's land with tailwind more than 10 knots.
I'm "just" the ATCO, I don't make the final decision, that responsibility lies in the cockpit.
But doesn't ICAO state that gusting wind shall only be given it more than 10 knots off the mean wind?
