minimums

When did I say the captain will bust minimums. Please look back at the post and find where I said that as I cannot find it.

We are talking about gusty conditions outside of the aircrafts limits and my original post clearly stated that you can, if you wish, for whatever reason, disregard the gust factor for planning purposes as per the ICAO document.

I did not state anywhere that when you get to your DA/MDA, the captain can choose to ignore them and carry on.

But you are right, it is going a bit off piste.
