Well done Zaz; happy to hear you guys managed to walk away from it. I made an ILS approach to LAG 18L with 50 knots tailwind in a helicopter last year and it wasn't fun, but being a helicopter we were able to make a turn to land into wind after getting visual and arriving over the runway.
Jirginsama, you haven't got it quite right. Aircraft weather radar works by detecting solid and liquid water in the atmosphere in the form of ice and rain. What it can't normally detect is water vapour which is an invisible gas. It could be detected if we had any way of measuring humidity in flight, but of course we don't. The actual returns will of course depend on the type of radar fitted in an individual aircraft. Drizzle and fog will normally only be detected by very short wavelength (1cm) Ka band radars, which you'd be unlikely to find in a normal commercial airctraft weather radar.
