Thanks for the link, Wod.
It's just the cynic in me wonders why they don't issue unequivocal statements? Such as "The aircraft was fitted with a functioning wx radar, however....." Phrasing it like this
"This convective turbulence is not normally visible to weather radar. At top of descent into Perth, the Captain explained this to passengers and also referred to the radar being designed to detect moisture but not ice crystals.
doesn't do it for me. eg "I had a car accident today. I wasn't injured. Aren't airbags wonderful?" implies that my car is fitted with airbags. It may not be, and if pressed I could deny that I said it was.
Or this
"Some media reports have suggested the aircraft was travelling through thunderstorms at the time of the incident. There may have been thunderstorms in the vicinity, but there is nothing to suggest the aircraft was actually flying through any storm activity."
Apart from the pax reports and people bouncing off the ceiling, which do suggest things.
