According to Airbus in case of actual or suspected windshear you must “delay or divert”. Its fair to say that in the above situation, windshear was suspected. And the results proved it to be so. I suspect maybe the Boeing manual indicates something similar.
Then you might as well shut down aviation in Japan because we have those kind of conditions at least 25% of the time here. Nothing in my Boeing manual says anything near that. A windshear warning, yes, but a simple report of windshear, no.
Lucky outcome but a string of bad decisions leading to a likely unstable approach followed by a terrible landing and a bent airframe as a result. Not to mention, the poor folk down the back that were involved.
That's quite a lofty assumption
If conditions were as per the ATIS, the METAR and several prior actual reports then this approach was conducted in contravention of company SOP’s, manufacturers SOP’s and common sense.
Does your conclusion apply to everyone else who attempted an approach around the same, including the US and European carriers, or just the reckless Asian ones?
