An incorrect AWIS that services RPT jets into a short strip is a pretty big threat.
And if they alternatively made a mistake, then how did they have any confidence to continue with no idea of wind conditions on the ground (and having just witnessed an aircraft departing in the opposite direction?)
Why was this not questioned and examined in the investigation and report? Seems like a very simple and obvious question that I’m sure would have been asked...
