SUNDOWN::----We've all answered his question more than adequately on how we deal with this kind of weather. He came in here all guns blazing with a childish post saying that Cathay Aircraft blundered right through the middle of a super Typhoon and then we had the stupidity not to file PIREPS after we most certainly had the crap beaten out of us and our poor unsuspecting passengers,and cabin crew. Really??
This kind of weather is our bread and butter, if we can't understand how to cope with it then we'd better not fly anywhere near Asia.
It does not present any particular problem if dealt with professionally. Which we all did on the day as did countless other Airlines.
ALGOL:---- mate really? You were there on the day were you? You're an expert in flying around Asia in all kinds of weather in an A330 or 777 are you?
Look at the radar picture posted above and you'll clearly see the en route weather didn't present any problems at all. If it did present a big problem then what's to stop you from doing a 180 and going home? Nothing.
Please stick to Flight Sim buddy........because I seriously doubt you've ever been in command of anything bigger than a C-152....
Now can we stop the b.s.
CRWKUNT ROLL:---nice photo of the weather, we went through about an hour later and it was the same, diverted only 15 nm left.....
