Wind gusting 22 - 42 kts, OVC at 100 ft, in those conditions it would be below Cat 1 minima. Yes I know cloud base is not a requirement, but if you think you can get in on a Cat 1 approach with OVC of 100 ft, you seriously should not be doing this job
??

I think some of you need to take a course in reading METARs. The METAR indicates a high overcast at 10,000 ft not a ceiling of 100 feet.


Are there a lot of aviation journalists commenting here? The level of aviation "expertise" on here is really amazing....

Some of the Metars reported to be the accurate ones at the time of the accident are off by several hours if the time of the crash reported here, 18:42, is local time and correct.
