Did they ever teach you in your CPL or Dispatcher classes about WAT (Weight for Altitude and Temperature)? Perhaps the guys sitting in the pointy end realized they could not meet the Approach Climb Limit or Landing Climb Limit and would not be able to with the temperature forecast for the next couple hours.
Ok, this was the only reasonable response I got so far. I'm quite familiar with everything you said, I was just curious if anyone knew what the turnaround was for and not because it was "too hot".
"Too hot" is not the same as a lowered MEL to the APM pub max.
And obviously, yes. I know the regs, both as a CPL, Dispatcher, and ATC.
The typos are just because I'm not sending my PHD thesis here, I just was asking a simple question and sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain.
If you're a CPL holder and a flight dispatcher, you should know you never, ever try and suggest a crew should go ahead and do something just because others do - especially in other types.
Other aircraft, on similar legs, from the same carrier made it in fine, and
within limitations. They also
departed on schedule without issue.
That is key, because this turnaround must have been for some reason other than being outside of the envelope for safety reasons. Not company regs regarding temp and type.
I'm not second-guessing the PIC's decisions here. I think this was more of a logistical thing.
It was only a question, but please don't slam my credentials because I spelled "brakes" "breaks". That is just because I don't go over every single word I type when typing very fast on a simple question. Obviously, it's not going to mark "breaks" as a misspelling so i don't notice it.
This isn't an government regulated exam. It's a question on a forum.
