Mar 7, 2011 - Depends on the tailwind component. Most airplanes can land with a taliwind component of up to 10 Knots. Not the smartest thing (not only do you waste alot of runway, but your also putting more stress on your tires by landing at a higher ground speed), but he could have been dealing with a one way runway. There's one of those at KLAM out this way due to restricted airspace.

May 10, 2011 - He is way off the center line....

May 12, 2011 - i feel bad for any student that has this guy as an instructor

murpet1988 Says:

May 19, 2011 - Well thats one way to get a Piper to use most of what looks like a 2km runway.....?

Jun 3, 2011 - Why is this guy landing with a tailwind???

mukusman Says:

Jun 11, 2011 - 53 people are scared of flight, let alone flying on their own

jamesinator69 Says:

Jun 13, 2011 - LOL.....If you have good judgement of attitude and power/descent profile, you can still land on your desired part of the runway, despite having a tailwind. You just have to descend to a point where you will start your flare earlier. I'm not condoning tailwind landings - it should never be done, I'm just saying don't use it as an excuse for landing 3/4 the way down the runway.

Jun 19, 2011 - do general aviation aircraft have a limit on the tail winds they can handle? would a 100knot tail wind damage them? assuming for arguments sake they coudl fly in the upper jet streams would it rip them to pieces even if it was a tail wind and not a headwind. does a higher ground speed still cause stress to the airframe in the way a faster airspeed will

Jun 27, 2011 - his voice is very annoying

thetowerseries Says:

Jul 18, 2011 - lets see how many comments i can make....-he looks like santa and his voice is unbearable-the person filming on the RIGHT side seat was to the LEFT of centerline upon touchdown- you don't ever want to land with a tailwind for obvious safety reasons-you used the entire runway because you came in WAY to high, not just cuz of the tailwind..its cuz u cant land a plane.I cannot people like this get certified to instruct..its truly scary

ballaboy899 Says:

Jul 21, 2011 - Wow talk about off centerline and hes trying to instruct a video on landing lol

InODependanceSyndrom Says:

Jul 23, 2011 - with 100knot tailwind this cessna would fly without enginer power. Cessna in this case can go 160knots. If you fly 160knots, the wind is 160knots. Yet they always seem to be able to make 1000's of flying hours.In other words, no it wont damage the plane directly.Other that then in a cessnas case 100knots will force it to stay in the air no matter what you try and eventually cause the plane to crash. 100knots is a hurricane, dont expect to land soon.

InODependanceSyndrom Says:

Jul 23, 2011 - all your gizmos will be faulty aswell, a currently changing altimeter, faulty pitot readings, please dont try flying in a hurricane. only in fsx.

WhizBangg Says:

Jul 24, 2011 - Thank you for posting all the Vids. I am wanting to get my Instructor's Cert and watching folks like you teach really helps me out. Plus, to be frank, a GREAT way to refresh too, no!?! Seriously though, thank you for posting.

Mar 31, 2012 - so why did you not approach form the other side if you knew you had a tailwind?
