I was waiting for startup at LKPR today when the ATR came in for landing. The weather conditions were improving significantly in his final approach. A few minutes earlier the conditions were really bad, I'd say temporarily CATII minima.
I thought it was strange that the tower informed that the breaking action was poor. I guess he is obliged to give this information. For me that would have been an increase of the already ultimate high work load.


After the landing the pilot vacated the runway and taxied to the stand, accompanied by the ambulances and firetrucks. It could have been that the other pilot has already been presumed dead, at least so it seemed to me.




Well done by the copilot, in such WX conditions. Very sad for the captain's family.
