Thunderstorm on approach.
Dear all,
Apparently flying towards a thunderstorm on approach is more a current affair than we may think.I can say ive done it but never again.
The minima and crews decision are the only ways to restrict an AC to fly in such conditions.
Why couldnt it be simply forbidden by law?
Couldnt we,lets say,restrict an AC from starting such an approach where convective windshears are known in a fixed distance around the field..10NM maybe?
I remember the tower in Springfield telling me since i was "the only dude up there" to start the approach whenever i wanted when i asked her the latest winds on the field..that was while i was slaloming between cells around the field.
Safe flying,
M.85
