I was non reving in a B-1900 once and I thought the PF was going to lose it with a stiff quartering tailwind, it was pretty ugly... One of the main reasons the issue goes under reported by pilots is that many Ops Specs or flight manuals will state a limitation and if an issue is made after choosing to land there could be trouble... One could also be cited for careless and wreckless operation I suppose. Thanks for the reminder and heads up. BTW, Do you ever get any backlash/resistance from a conflicting tower when attempting to initiate a runway change?
