Operative weather radar?strange pilot is asking how the weather is outside the tower's window..
Regardless of whether there were actual large CB or TS, all the clues were there...
High pitch following a go around is not unheard of,,,cobra maneuver as i was told..40 deg+ pitch...unless one in front is switched on,it can obvioulsy go bad very quick.
Some mentioned the facilities of airport or lack of, could have been a factor.
When a landing is not possible at destination an alternate airport is normally chosen based on a few factors..weather,fuel,performance restrictions,airport familiarity,then maintenance facilty if required and pax comfort,cost related.
