Right at my ETA..

Do you think people are actually going to come outside when the winds are blowing 70 knots and there are heavy thunderstorms and rain?

I was only addressing the wind, not the weather. And the landing idea wasnt mine, I cant take credit for it. I read about that scenario somewhere, not sure if it was in F.E. Potts book or someone elses. It wasnt a hypothetical.

If i had a legal RVR report from the tower and radar for the TS i might give the approach a shot.

Whoa...you'd try an approach to an airport that was currently reporting thunderstorms with heavy rain and 70kt winds? It's one thing if you've got a small cell that's clearly moved off the field, but something producing weather like that had better be well away before I'd give it a shot.

Flying into that would be such a clear violation of my FOM that I'm sure I'd get fired on the spot if anything were to happen.
