Have you considered it may not be the weather there or GLA but elsewhere? ie. the aircrafts previous flights?
Unfortunately this is irrelevant when it comes to this bloody ridiculous compo regulation, it is up to the operator to cover the flight with a replacement aeroplane
Brutha -
If we have a forecast for example for 28 knots, gusting to 40, from a southerly direction, then the aircraft will be landing on runway 17 (think I got that right!).
- Correct
I don't know Benbecula, but some airfields have restrictions with regards to wind that are irrelevant to an aeroplanes operating limits, there might be something relating to that. I'd be doubtful personally though, as 28 G40 is probably very common up there and would therefore shut the place on a very regular basis.
