Rabc I'm sorry I must have missed something in the thread. Where exactly does it give the fuel load/upload/flight planning details and communications between Flight Ops and the Captain? If the Captain deemed it fit to go in the forecast conditions it would have been his decision as to the fuel load and diversion suitability. Of course he would have had reference to Flight Ops available for advice but as to Flight Ops alone making the decision?
Was the aircraft and crew Cat II capable and qualified? I still have no idea, has it been confirmed?
