I was under the impression that for performance calculations tailwinds were factored by 150%.
That is very much my point. The performance people use 150% for LDR calculations. That is one thing. The other is the AFM says tailwind limit is 10kts. One is a limit, the other is a buffer included in LDR calculations. The crew on the day are not allowed to use that buffer. They have to use AFM. That is my point: it is an overly restrictive limitation that needs reviewing.
