It's always the same.
Try, try, try and try again and bang!
I wonder how many lives will be lost until more stringent procedure laws on low vis approaches will be executed. Still accident cause #1 in world aviation.

Copied from a post I made back in October. One more for the file.NigelC wrote:That just about sums it up. Practically, your destination is out you would either stay on the ground and await improvement or re-file to a commercial alternate when passengers could be bussed back and forth to the original destination. If its marginal you might consider tanking some extra fuel to give you some extra holding time at the destination in case of a break in the weather.
You can only make two approaches to your destination, if you fail to get in off either then divert. History shows a great number of CFIT(Controlled Flight Into Terrain) accidents to aircraft attemting a third approach in bad weather.

Heard about this on the radio the day it happened. There was a little more on our ITV regional news this evening, as one of the pilots was from our area (York), the other being Spanish. Sad to report that the York pilot should not have been on that flight. He had either swapped a duty or been asked to fill-in.
He hailed from the North East & previously had been on Life Boats before coming a pilot, & had helped in the saving of 66 lives.
Sad loss.
