Fog And 8 Octas
hey all
i know its a stupid question and one I should have asked my instructor long back. But I really havent and was wondering if someone could clarify this.
I remember flying to Dusseldort in Emirates A310-300 last year and the whole approach was in Nil-Visibility and 8 Octas. When coming back to Oz, we were diverted to Adelaide from Melbourne due to "extreme" fog.
Question is, how did we land in Dusseldorf in the first place in such an inclement weather whereas the scenario in Melbourne was 8 Octas and no thunderstorm?
Is it because Melbourne isnt set up for ILS fully whereas Dusseldorf is? Silly question for you all. Nevertheless, I wanna get this out of my mind.
Take care all
