757/767: 25 kts X-W (although company limits this to 15 kts in CAT II & CAT III conditions)
All FAR Part 25 aircraft are limited to 10 kts max tailwind, and that is true for the aurtoland as well.
Max groundspeed 165 kts

Transport Canada won't even consider an AP unless it can do at least 25kt head, 15kt cross & 10kt tail. . .BTW watch out for "tower winds" from airfields in the US Mid-West equipped with Low Level Wind Shear sytems - they give out an average out of the LLWS sensors that can be almost an order of magnitude lower than the IRU shows on the approach. Their sensors are only at about 3m as opposed to the old ICAO 10m tower anemometer.

Intereting how we all use different limits for the same thing!
757-200 and 767-300 (UK Charter Operator). .Headwind 25. .Tailwind 15 (767 - 10 kt ac limit). .X Wind 25 kts. .If RVR <150m then 10 kts max x-wind.
I read in the ac manual that the ac (757) was demonstrated to:. .Headwind 34. .Tailwind 25. .X Wind 25
Regards
