This flight made a go-around TWICE, and the winds changed back to normal while he was up. Come on! gimme a break with the winds! What's going to happen in real life, if you made a tailwind landing?

  • You could go too fast and overshoot the runway. How much lift the wing generates depends on the speed of the air going thru it. If you need the air to move at 100kph over the wing to stay afloat, flying in a 15kph tail wind means you have to fly at 115kph relative ground speed to stay afloat. That makes it harder to time your landing and takes longer to slow down to safe speed.

  • Nope. If you flared up the nose a bit early, and flaps are like more than 10 degrees down, it'll probably increase drag and the plane would slow down a bit...

    Well that could work if you want to stall the plane
