Some opinions please. Many operators have guidance on headwind & crosswind components, including gusts. There are also tailwind limits, either 10 or 15kts. I've asked, searched for guidance on the inclusion of gusts with a tailwind. Total silence and blank faces.
A real scenario: tailwind limit 15kts. (landing on opposite rwy not possible). Actual tailwind 14kts gusting 28kts. Can you legally land? 1 company a/c diverted 2 company a/c landed. Asked for guidance. No reply. Opinions? Rwy was very long, hence the 15kts.
