Re your 7307
May I refer you to para 32c of the" BOI" which clearly states:-
"In the forecast conditions, the icing clearance would have allowed an IMC pull-up from low level to Safety Altitude over the Mull of Kintyre."
You will note that there are no caveats whatsoever to that statement.
Moreover, the Investigating BOI stated at para 54:-
If the crew did not have visual contact with the Mull, and had decided not to attempt a landfall in the vicinity of the lighthouse, they would, in the opinion of the Board, have been faced with 2 options: to turn away from land and attempt to route VFR towards Corran, parallel to their intended track but over the sea to the west of the Mull of Kintyre Peninsula, until clear of the poor weather; or to climb to a safe height and fly over the Mull of Kintyre on track, accepting a change of in-flight conditions if necessary.
I believe that the BOI, the Reviewing Officers and I are of one mind in respect of this scenario.
