A superior study of windshear. As pilots, we would normally fly on our experience in these matters. The problem is that commercial considerations are thrust on us,
and sometimes we go like lambs to the slaughter.
Keeping a schedule plus CFP calculated fuel to reduce costs are a perfect storm when there are perfect storms.
All that Cb and windshear knowledge becomes less significant if crews cannot consider safer options before departure or perhaps before the previous refuelling opportunity.
CRM principles are no less applicable to TS than an all engine out ditching in the Hudson. I consider that weather considerations should be an advanced segment of CRM training.
