It was Chanchangi

The info I have is that it was Chanchangi 722 this morning.
The 19L is now called 18L.
Maybe it is time to have proper reports from TWR about breaking action and rwy deposit depth. With those information the pilots could rely on company SOP and divert or postpone landing if conditions are below required. Without that the landing is gambling and/or one could face management attaks for diverting.
I was flying in that region for 3 years and I now how difficult it is to make a decision, when you see others are landing and you are thinking about diverting. Also it woudnt be so hard to install ILS on the other side of rwy in order to avoid prevailing tailwinds on 18L/R during rainy season.

Safe landings to all.
