What is the maximum tailwind component for the CRJ 900/700?

The maximum tailwind component for the CRJ 900/700 is 10 knots. This limitation is in place to ensure safe takeoff and landing performance, as excessive tailwinds can adversely affect aircraft performance, particularly during critical phases of flight such as takeoff and landing. Tailwinds can increase the landing distance and takeoff roll, which could push the aircraft beyond the safe operational limits of the runway. Adhering to this limit is crucial for maintaining safety margins during operations, ensuring that pilots can manage the aircraft's performance effectively under various environmental conditions. Understanding this limitation helps pilots make informed decisions regarding runway selection and approach procedures, ensuring compliance with safety protocols.
