Well done.

There are many reasons for LTE (and lets be honest, we are still learning lessons from LTE incidents) but thats not the crux of my post.

WELL DONE to the pilot involved. The precautionary landing was 110% the correct decision....when in doubt, there is no doubt etc etc

Too many pilots in an attempt to save face, continue on, or fly home....often in an attempt disguise the incident. Sometimes endangering dozens of innocent people in the process.

Congrats to this pilot for a sensible and mature approach esp given the uncertain and dramatic nature of the LTE incident.
