I believe MAN allows landings on RWY(s) 23 with up to a 3 knot tailwind.
With low cloud base/poor visibility and an unserviceable ILS on 23R for the time being, do ATC switch arrivals to 05 if it means that ILS landings are possible - in order to accept as many landing aircraft as possible?

Would the tailwind limits ever be altered at an airport (if the aircraft's crew could accept the landing) in such a situation?

(I realise that the current high pressure means that winds are very light anyway.)
