om...

the last 3rd of a 6,500 ft runway. Dunno what the tailwind was --
nothing too startling (10-12 kts?)



That is a very significant tailwind for landing; it would not surprise me if
a 10 knot tailwind doubled your landing roll vs. a 10 knot headwind or if
the total landing distance increased between 50% and 100%.
