flybe - visibility restrictions Dash8 v Embraer 195
I wonder if anyone can answer this for me.
On Friday afternoon, I was doing my usual Edinburgh to Birmingham trip (this week with flybe). There were various levels of mist/fog in Edinburgh and other parts of Scotland all day. When I found my flight had been delayed (no great suprise having seen the departures board already) and tried to find out more information, the suggestion was that the weather had been such that the Dash8 weren't able to land at Edinburgh for large parts of the day although the Embraer 195 had been ok (consequently the Dash8 planned for my flight had been diverted to Prestwick earlier in the day and the delay was to wait for it to be able to transfer to Edinburgh). I just wondered if any flybe (or other pilots) could tell me what the weather restrictions are on the 2 types ?
Thanks
