The downdraft scenario is exactly why one should not fly a shallow profile. And do keep aiming for a standard 30' RA at the threshold. Be observant to err on the low side but not deliberately (much).
Tailwind won't send you over the cliff if the landing was reasonable and braking proper. That's what the 67% reserve is for.
A321 IAE with wing fence is illegal at MLW but that is no news. (1210 + 80 A/THR + 100 ISA20) *5/3 = 2316
Assuming 45 DOW + 4t landing fuel + 19 t full house charter load = LW = 68 t and that is also no dispatch. [(1210-100 Weight) + 80 + 100)]*5/3 = 2150.
Funny that, the A320 classic which I saw operate give: 41 + 4 + 11 (130 pax) = LW = 55 t which is still no dispatch with resulting RLD of 1810. (Technically we could drop the +5 for A/THR but that only is 125 m).
Anyone said 'dispensation' ?
