I am not talking about GA or landing performance but approach itself in tailwind. The manufacturers provide additives only for headwind gust, that even in crosswind caters for headwind component of the crosswind. Can you make an approach with out any additive for gust? Landing in tailwind has authorisation and that only permits you to do so in a tailwind of maximum say 15kts. then to exceed that would require hard evidence and not the other way round. Nobody takes away due credit for the years you can also include me to contribute to that score. Experience alone is not everything as Bangalore, SFO and Air China 747 barrel role suggests.
