260 at 12kts, landing rwy 10, RA? Doable but not ideal.

So they were landing with a 10 kt tailwind? Why would they do that?

9400’ runway. Does anyone have the approach plates?

Missed approach on different runway... plus poor weather, standing water on the runway, etc...etc.. More info and pics here:

So they were trying to land on 28 and then came back around to try 10. With a tailwind. Landed 3300’ long.

ILS and VOR approaches on both runways.

It will be interesting to hear about pilot credentials and if this is another example of 3rd world airline incompetence.
