Talking about planning. Ever heard of that? Ever flown ETOPS? There are other field in the Azores, which do provide wind reports. And the winds can be close to or over limits in these islands. Anyone heard of crosswind landing limits? They can vary for each aircraft, depending upon the nature of the emergency.
The level of contributors' knowledge on this site is often very low, which means many are amateur pilots or even armchair flyers. Pity.
