Any chance, any chance at all of moving on from the fuel state and opening up the discussion to other factors?
What other mayor factors are there then adverse weather and its consequances?
If the wx would have been fine this would not have happened.
Is there any other way to deal with adverse wx than to avoid it or when you get into it anyway, get out of it.
To do this you need fuel.
I agree we could open a book on human factors and discuss every item in a way it would find its place in the report. In doing so we would fail to address the core issue and that is that he crew did not have time (fuel wise) to take any other decision then the one they took.
So the main issue really is that it s not that easy to asses at dispatch stage what the implications of some TAF or METAR can be.
But almost never have I seen a degree of intrest in the subject as is often the case with other aviation related issues.
Why would we have to be impressed by a report?
