In this instance, you have an a/c flying an approach with a tailwind component approaching 20kts, which means the ground speed is, perhaps, 30kts higher than usual?


If you're still talking about AF358, from what I understand it's the crosswind which was 20kts, the tailwind was much lower.

Approach speed 143kts, touchdown 148kts.
