While we are on the topic can I ask a question of FNC regulars?. .I am new to the place and have only made two landings there, the second was distinctly interesting being in that recent weather. Last minute control difficulties at the threshhold were literally a knee trembler.. .I was concerned about the suitability of Porto Santo as a diversion when having the same weather.. .With the wind across from the high ground at say 25G35 what sort of difficulties could I expect?. .The Jep plates warn of X-winds and wind shear.. .We took extra fuel to allow somewhere nice but further like TFS or LPA.. .Was that timid or sensible?. .BTW unlike the schedules, the charters have to go sooner or later. Sure enough TAP had cancelled leaving a packed terminal of disgruntle pax sitting on their cases.. .Nice island though....going again next month.
