What is the Mean Runway Slope of the A320?
+/- 2%
Maximum pressure altitude ceiling?
39,000 or 39,800ft. Dependent on the aircraft
Maximum demonstrated crosswind for take off and landing? Is this an actual limit?
35 or 38kts, depending on the aircraft. Airbus recommends not to go over this limit. It is an engine limitation.
Maximum Tailwind takeoff?
Depends on the aircraft certification. Some are 10kts, some are 15kts.
Maximum Tailwind for landing
Depends on the aircraft certification. Some are 10kts, some are 15kts. For tailwind greater than 10kts, use Flaps full for landing
