we have learned this lesson before

about a zillion years ago, the ALPA lobied for ILS approaches to all airports/runways served by jets.

There are visual deceptions associated with a rain splattered windshield, and the noise from the wipers is defening. Add to that possible windshear and the way a rain soaked windshield and the ocean below may blend in as one...

It is becoming clear enough that the lack of ILS to this runway, heavy rain (for fans of ''bowfinger'', chubby rain) may be contributing. wonder if they used the RAINBOE.?
