What is the max tailwind take off a320?

Runway slope (mean): ±2 % Runway altitude: 9 200 ft Nominal runway width: 148 feet Minimal runway width for AP-BLU, BLV, BLW: 98 feet Maximum demonstrated crosswind (takeoff and landing): 38 knots (gust included) Maximum tailwind for Takeoff – BLY & BLZ = 15 knots, Others 10 knots.

Operate in accordance with Manufacturer's Limitations: Aircraft manufacturers publish a tailwind component limit for both takeoff and landing in the AFM. In most cases, it is in the order of 10 knots but may be as high as 15 knots.

Aircraft manufacturers publish tailwind limitations in the Aircraft Flying Manual and are, in most cases of modern airline aircraft, in the order of 10 to 15 kts. The actual wind is a random phenomenon and varies in time and location.

During take off and landing, tailwinds ireduce the airflow. Consequently, the necessary lift is achieved later and at higher speeds (the wind speed is added to the aircraft speed). Therefore, longer runways are required to perform a safe take off or landing.

A320`s can actually travel just under 4000 nautical miles with no payload and the maximum fuel load on board. So crossings can be made non stop on delivery flights.

MORE DETAILS

Because headwind increases the lift, pilots prefer to land and take off in headwind. Tailwind is wind blowing from behind the aircraft. It reduces the lift and aircraft generally avoid taking off or landing in tailwind.

The airplane will still fly; it just takes considerably more runway to depart. Most Pilot's Operating Handbooks (POHs) will use a phraseology in their takeoff roll performance charts such as increase ground roll 10% for every 2 kts of tailwind or similar.

Other special cases include a tailwind, where the plane and wind are acting in the same direction. As you may suspect, the speed of the aircraft increases when there is a tailwind and decreases when there is a headwind.

MORE DETAILS

Tailwind: Varies between 0 and 15kts depending upon field elevation and flap setting. Maximum and minimum glideslope angles are 3.25 degrees and 2.5 degrees respectively. Autoland capability may only be used with flaps 30 or 40 and both engines operative.

When it comes to the original crop of the Airbus A320 family, these twinjets have a service ceiling of between 39,100 ft and 41,000 ft. This is between 11,917 m and 12,497 m.
