What is the maximum tailwind limit for takeoff and landing in the SkyWest CRJ 200?

The maximum tailwind limit for takeoff and landing in the SkyWest CRJ 200 is indeed 10 knots. This limit is established to ensure safe operational performance during these critical phases of flight. A tailwind, while sometimes beneficial during certain phases of flight, increases the distance required for takeoff and landing due to the relative ground speed being higher than the actual airspeed. Allowing a tailwind in excess of this limit could compromise the aircraft's ability to stop within the available runway length or achieve sufficient performance margins during takeoff. Adhering to this limitation is crucial for ensuring safety and managing effective operations within the aircraft's performance parameters.
