Narrative:
On approach, 8 KT tailwind reported by tower. Continued to landing. Noticed that wind seemed a little gusty. Just before landing, noticed 12 KTS on the tail displayed on HSI. As wind was variable, I may have touched down with more than the 10 KT maximum tailwind. Reported winds to tower.
