I threw an approach away at 50’ in the Caribbean some time ago as it just didn’t seem right with a “calm” wind reported. FDR later showed 23kts tail!
Excellent that some of us still have feel and the nouce to act on it; and the courage. I hope RHS learnt a very salient lesson.
However, to those who advocate a GA as first choice: there are many these days flying around on minimum fuel. So you make an unexpected GA. Then what if you are now at RESV fuel? Try again, wait a while or bgr off to said ALTN. CP might not be easily convinced. Surely the length of LDA has to be a major factor and should have been considered in advance. I don't mean that you expected a major wind shift, just that the crew is aware of the LDA & LDR ratio should anything happen.
