Jetlag50 - from the A330-200 FCOM 3.01.20 p3


. Wind for takeoff:
Maximum TAILWIND................15 knots

. Wind for landing
Maximum TAILWIND................15 knots

Not quite sure what you're alluding to about 100% flying the approach and landing with a tailwind It's normal at many airfields due noise abatement - big whoopy deal

Besides - it's policy at our company to be fully configured by 1500' and stable by 1000' IMC and 500' VMC. That's a pretty standard deal with most airlines and types these days...
