lvp's
from a reliable source who was at the holding point that night.....
(dubai refueller!!!)
they called up danata on 131.6 and gave an eta of 30mins.....
why not lob into muscat where the wx was cavok...or doha, also cavok, if they had already gone past dxb.
12L was in use for departure as well as arrivals. with rvr's 1400, 1000, 400. cloud base was 200ft....at this point fog was moving in quite quickly...TAF was for 200m
Had Luigi checked the weather prior to deciding to divert to dubai? or even checked his charts to see which was the CAT 11 runway!
