Tailwind landings
Just a quick question for all the test pilots out there. I have been trying to figure this out for the past few days. I am currently flying a c172 and I want to know what’s the best way to land in a tailwind ? 0 flap or 30 flap ? if your approach speed was a bit to high and you got in over the threshold then got the speed down to Vfe would you extend 30 flap to get rid of the lift and increase your drag bleeding off the speed to get the plane stopped in a shorter distance ? this would obviously be a non standard approach let’s say it was an emergency landing and it was the nearest runway available … would appreciate all input,,,
