hey guys...... Here are the two metars closest to the time of touchdown.......
MKJP 230228Z 31009KT 5000 TSRA BKN014 FEW016CB SCT030 BKN100 22/19 Q1013
MKJP 230200Z 30012KT 5000 SHRA BKN014 SCT030 BKN100 22/20 Q1013 RERA
Obviously winds where ideal for a RWY30 approach. My guess is they used RWY12 to use the ILS @ KIN.
I have personally seen this same aircraft land on my home airport's ILS with a 6kt tailwind and similar conditions. our runway is 8,595'.
Glad everybody survived..... kudos to the AA flight crew ,Ops and ARFF crews @ Manley....
