Accuracy of MET data is important.

Upon arrival at Mildura, the actual weather conditions were significantly different to those forecast, in particular with visibility reduced in fog.
The flight crew of Qantas 735 conducted an instrument approach and landed below minima. The flight crew of Velocity 1384 also conducted an instrument approach and landed below minima in fog and with fuel below the fixed reserve
I think Virgin touched down with around 500kg. Not much in a 738, not sufficient for a go around.

Not somewhere I will ever let a 'policy' dictate I find myself whilst strict liability sits with me. What does a tonne cost to carry these days?
