Narrative:

On aug/xa/98 at AA30, the dfw ATIS was information abcd at AB53Z said, 'wind 100 degrees at 11 KTS gusting to 20 KTS, landing runway 31, 35, 36.' LLWAS in effect. Aircraft landing on runways 35/36 expect to hold short of taxiway ej or Z. I do not recall which taxiway. We landed on runway 35R and were not given a hold short clearance. The wind at that time by tower was 090 degrees at 12 KTS. Other aircraft were landing runways 31R and 35C. Several aircraft were given lahso on runway 35C to hold short of taxiway Z. I do not recall what wind the tower was giving them. The reason for my report is, I think it is contradicting for the ATIS to show a tailwind, and at the same time say they are doing lahso operations. I do not know if aircraft were actually being cleared to land with a tailwind and told to hold short, but the tower was giving the wind as 090 degrees to us and other aircraft. With that in mind, I believe that would make runway 35C illegal for lahso operations.

Title: MD80 ACFT. ARPT ATIS GAVE LAND, HOLD SHORT INFO WHILE ALSO GIVING A TAILWIND.

Narrative: ON AUG/XA/98 AT AA30, THE DFW ATIS WAS INFO ABCD AT AB53Z SAID, 'WIND 100 DEGS AT 11 KTS GUSTING TO 20 KTS, LNDG RWY 31, 35, 36.' LLWAS IN EFFECT. ACFT LNDG ON RWYS 35/36 EXPECT TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY EJ OR Z. I DO NOT RECALL WHICH TXWY. WE LANDED ON RWY 35R AND WERE NOT GIVEN A HOLD SHORT CLRNC. THE WIND AT THAT TIME BY TWR WAS 090 DEGS AT 12 KTS. OTHER ACFT WERE LNDG RWYS 31R AND 35C. SEVERAL ACFT WERE GIVEN LAHSO ON RWY 35C TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY Z. I DO NOT RECALL WHAT WIND THE TWR WAS GIVING THEM. THE REASON FOR MY RPT IS, I THINK IT IS CONTRADICTING FOR THE ATIS TO SHOW A TAILWIND, AND AT THE SAME TIME SAY THEY ARE DOING LAHSO OPS. I DO NOT KNOW IF ACFT WERE ACTUALLY BEING CLRED TO LAND WITH A TAILWIND AND TOLD TO HOLD SHORT, BUT THE TWR WAS GIVING THE WIND AS 090 DEGS TO US AND OTHER ACFT. WITH THAT IN MIND, I BELIEVE THAT WOULD MAKE RWY 35C ILLEGAL FOR LAHSO OPS.
