Nice write up Zazoo, and we thank God for the miracle.

Just out of IR training and one of the things i learnt was:

''Infact, weather avoidance radar provides information on precipitation based on echo returns.Avoiding the areas of precipitation will often (not always) keep you out of the greatest turbulence.Radar does not show water vapor.Thus, clouds and fog, i.e IFR conditions are not indicated"

But one of the saddest thing is that the tower/approach couldnt give you a reliable brief of what was happening.It shows how bad the system is.

Please it will be appreciated if other pilots will follow nthe steps of Zazoo so that we can all learn. This is indeed a good lesson for all.
