Lion Air general affairs director Edward Sirait has said that there were
no weather problems when a Lion Air Boeing 737-800 aircraft crashed on
landing at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali, on Saturday
afternoon.
He said the weather was quite good when the accident
happened.
Thanks. that tends to confirm my earlier reports of the local weather at the time of the accident. Lion would surely reserve weather as a possible excuse unless the met data would confirm otherwise? I have no axe to grind here, I am simply reporting the weather conditions locally at the time of the accident. Of course, Virgin Australia may soon publicly report the reasons for the GA of their flight. Presumably, either weather OR the sight of a rather large and highly visible 73 on the reef at the 09 threashold??
