DontSink thanks for the anecdotal evidence. I have been operating to FNC for over 15 years, and agree it can be un predicable.
The runway is now of a good length and the main factors are the terrain and its effect on the wind. I agree that it lacks a conclusive study into the wind effects, however based on my own experience, I prefer to to have, possibly, cautious limits until the true effects of the winds are proven. There are plans to resite the anenometers on the side of the hills and to provide more predictive wind information, but this could result in more restrictive limitations at times.
The UK operators into FNC need to remember the economic effects of incidents at FNC.
Air Europe wrote off a B757 (rebuilt to save face) and more recently Airtours had a tailscrape which cost the company millions.
Both these incidents happened with the wind in limits!!!
There is no shame in going around if the approach becomes desatabilised. Even if this takes more courage than pushing your luck.
