Try yesterday in KDAL, when ATIS winds were something, but in reality they were something completely different. I asked for a wind check, twice, until they told me yeah looks like they are unreliable. We had a 20kts tailwind all the way down. They swapped runways after we landed.

So, I disagree wind check makes you a TOTD

Did you land with a 20 knot tailwind?

On what runway in ATL would you be conducting LAHSO? I’ve been there once or twice and don’t remember any intersecting runways.

Not much point in asking for a wind check or using on board displays if you just end up ignoring them and landing anyway.

Q400 has 20kt tailwind limit, so .....

This guy was the crown jewel of tools.

Next time just sit there until someone brings you a vest! Problem solved!

so.......was dera flying a Q400? Doubt it. Also, the fact that an industry outlier, non-jet happens to have a higher TW limit is pretty much irrelevant.

I was flying a plane with no pre-set tailwind limit.

Instead of using the normal 1200ft of runway, I ended using around 2000ft. Still made the same exit. We had 7000ft left.
Also, I think I hit 90kts tire speed on touchdown, instead of the usual 70'ish.
I think we were okay.

Can you show me where it is prohibited?

I'd be more concerned about the jet that landed just before us.

It's got "jet like" speeds though!
