All this talk about the AA 1420 accident in Little Rock. Why don't we just admit that the decision to continue that approach was one of the stupidest ever seen.
At one point on the approach with the flightcrew knowing that a thunderstorm awas at the airport, the controller gave a second windshear alert and winds of 32 knots gusting to 45 knots followed by an RVR of 1600 feet in heavy rain. What is the likelyhood of a successful landing, especially when the wind is 50° off the runway?
