W/S all runways? I’ll take an alternate thanks..
Sounds like a sensible option to me.
Boeing says
If the​ presence of windshear is confirmed, delay takeoff ​
or do not continue an approach
So if the ATIS is broadcasting ‘W/S on all runways, Taxiway B1 closed due flooding’
and some aircraft are going around ( as was the case), is that not confirmation of wind shear?
The show carries on and passengers get safely to their destination, until they don’t.
I don’t think anyone could fault you if you tootled off to your alternate.
I certainly wouldn’t have been landing on 16L with that wind/rain/ notam/flap combination.
