Default Downwind Landings

What is your threshold for landing (or departing) downwind? Will you
land knowing you have a 5 knot tailwind? 10 knots? At what point will
you "flip" the pattern to takeoff or land into the wind?


It rather depends on the runway...

My threshold on a 3000' runway is smaller than my threshold on a 6000'
runway.
