Unfortunately, if they had elected to do a missed approach, the crew would have been put through an inquisition as other aircraft landed successfully (more or less) previously and with the very same aircraft the preceding day. Not easy to have a win. As history has proved, that runway at Conhongas was not the safest when wet and ungrooved. At least two other 737s could have shared the fate of Tam 3054. TAM has decided not to despatch any flights to Conhongas in runway wet conditions.
