A question for the professional jet guys and girls on this topic. How difficult would it be to hit your desired touchdown zone at the appropriate speed if from 3000 agl to 1000 agl you were to encounter a 40-50 knot tailwind. The ATIS indicated little wind on runway. Would it not be an issue or would it come down to knowing when the tailwind would cease?
