Lajes anemometer
How is it that about 50% of North Atlantic flights use Lajes as an ERA, and yet there is no wind measurement available on the METAR?
It is a windy place, important for Nattrack ops (Air Transat know this well), and yet they apparently cannot afford a wind-measuring device. And have not for many months, according to current NOTAM.
Yet another safety and operational issue caused by penny-pinching.
Answers on a postcard please....
