and , dear Canada, install windshear alert system...heck, your a first class country, get doppler wx radar!
You are 100% correct, SSR. I am very disappointed that the report did not include a recommendation to install a LLWS system at YYZ. We get plenty of days where conditions similar to those on the day of the accident exist. I have to ask, if the AF crew had been on an approach to JFK in that weather, would they have continued their approach if ATC had advised them of LLWS alerts in the vicinity of the runway? I'd certainly hope not, and instead of a smoking hulk in a ravine, AF would have had a load of slightly inconvenienced passengers sitting at the alternate airport instead.
