I will not take a 10knt tailwind to land a conventional geared aircraft..
I will take an occasional 10knt tailwind on a 6000ft runway for most of the
other light tri-cycle geared GA aircraft I fly.
Can I send the bill to the local home owners association for extra wear on
brake pads?

Thanks Jim, this makes perfect sense, as noise has
been an issue there for years. I just had the idea
that tailwind landings and takeoffs were never allowed,
as the FAA traditionally seemed pretty strict.
BTW, airport is Peachtree-Dekalb (Atlanta metro
area); here's a page on noise abatement there that
I found just now: http://www.pdkairport.org/abatement.htm
