Tailwinds and headwinds are both types of winds that affect aircraft performance. Tailwinds are winds blowing in the same direction as the aircraft's flight path, which can help increase speed and fuel efficiency. On the other hand, headwinds are winds blowing in the opposite direction of the aircraft's flight path, which can slow down the aircraft and increase fuel consumption.
It's called 'flaring to a landing,' where the nose of the aircraft is brought up, raising angle of attack, lowering airspeed, until the main gear gently touch down on the runway. When speaking exclusively of that portion of the landing path, an aircraft is said to be 'flaring' or 'in the flair.'
