Behind the second BMI
I agree with you that on the day in question we did "de-alternate" due to the crosswind. However Del Prado does not seem to know what he is talking about I am afraid.
With regard to the last 200' wind, if you can when busy just give a call of "200ft wind 220/45" may be of help to the one following? However it is a very high workload situation I would expect so maybe not possible? Out of interest how helpful are our windchecks we give when you are in the final stages of approach after being given landing clearance.
