You clearly have a problem with decisions being queried. I have no problem with the Met output but the reality is that the Operator is being overly zealous with the restrictions being put in place and zero credit is being given to aircraft being operated in and out of Mount Pleasant Airport by crews with a large amount of experience in operating into far more challenging runways. The recent spate of NOTAM's closing the airspace over MPA demonstrated the incoherent and knee-jerk reaction to the "risk", the fact that three different NOTAM's had three different restrictions in a week highlights this.
