for those who are current on B732, when you are about 4NM from touchdown, that puts you just over 1300feet AGL, and you are hit by a strong microburst, is that 600 to 700 feet enough to recover?
Delta flight 191 hit a microburst on approach to DFW back in the 80s. This accident may have been a direct result of a microburst, but with that being said, the next question is, why were the crew flying into a T-storm, which leads back to crew training standards?
