Nice. The mists are clearing a bit now (sorry if this has been a bit hard work! )

Now, suppose that the weight you are rolling with is still well below the Corrected Allowable Take-Off Weight for 10kt tailwind, even if you are actually 0 wind, you still cannot use those speeds? (.... in human speak I'm trying to follow this, but I'm getting a bit out of my depth.)

My stance is that we should use the speeds appropriate to the wind (0 or 10 tail), however, I need to be able to give a definitive answer as to why using the lower tailwind speeds shouldn't be done.

Thanks
