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 :)

atl atc... “hey sprit since when are you not allowed to accept LAHSO? we didn’t get this information here nor did anyone of my colleagues nationally. Just curious why all of a sudden for the change right now?” Fo “ the skipper said he has worked here 14 years and never been able to do them.” Heard a few other strange things lately from 380 to taxiway Dixie.

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

What about someone who posts on APC and basically admits they landed with a 20 kt tailwind. What a/c do you fly? Tailwind limits?

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

This guy was the crown jewel of tools.

Did you land with a 20 knot tailwind?
