After reading that lot it made me sit upright in my chair here!
This whole situation revolves around the Wx forecast & it's interpretation. The outcome was good no argument there (handled well under lots of duress)but this is a good Eg of 'reading' the forecast well b4 you step into the machine.
Planing on arrival with 2.8T under those 'threatening' conditions would be ringing alarm bells for me, forget Co req's IE Min fuel the skipper can override all that if he sees fit.
Light winds, under the influence of a high pressure, cold temps with 1 deg split & early morning, lovely ingredients for Fog.
The not passing of vital info enroute (as '601' alluded to) as mentioned in the report is amazing! I'd like to think that that was a boo boo more than the norm.
We can all learn from these sorts of events so thanks to the crews for giving us a timely reminder in this ever increasing commercial pressured game called aviation
