I don't know why everyone is 'surprised' and 'shocked' now the report is out.
1. The METARS posted on page one of this thread showed that it was highly unlikely that conditions were good enough to permit 3 legal CAT 1 apps.
2. Is it really so shocking that corners are being cut- and cut big- in operations at the Manx 2 level?
The report confirms my worst fears, but shocked and surpised, I'm not.
