'micro' I think we see heavy rain rather than a microburst. Google 'Microburst Explanation' or similar to discover what a microburst is - which would prevent any air ops.

Spaz,

Thank you once again for your suggestions. I did do a search on Google for "microburst" and found the results fascinating. I also, just for fun, searched the FAA "airmen inquiry" website for my name. I've attached screenshots of the results. As always, your input is valued, but I'm more inclined to trust my 9,800 hours of flight time. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

I agree the guy who decides to wait out the weather sounds more senior, he also takes his wingman, I presume more junior. The call for the wait happens after the wave off and nasty bolter. Not sure if that is them who called or if they got the heads up on company channel.

Interesting 'micro' I'll take your word for your experience. However we both can admit we do not know enough about the actual conditions of the environment we see in that PLAT video. I'll believe my own experience (now long ago) of 1,600 hours of RAN FAA single engine jet flying including a centurion DL cruise aboard HMAS Melbourne with some night DLs thrown in. My suggestion would be that any 'microburst' would prevent any deck ops - if not catastrophic effects on any aircraft in such a microburst. My online PDFs/Videos explain a lot about the environment aboard HMAS Melbourne for the A4G and other fixed wing RAN FAA aircraft.

Spaz, no need to become hostile or "take my word". That is why I provided screenshots. If you would care to provide screenshots of your ratings I would love to see them. Don't worry, I remember way back when I only had 1600 hours. In any case, go back to my original post and see that I said I was "surprised" the Boss did not suspend the recovery, and that the weather was "indicative" of a microburst, not that there was one.

You can argue about my choice of words to regard them as 'hostile' all you wish. That is on you. I am providing information. You choose not go look for yourself.

If you did you would see a lot of things about me on SkyDrive for example:

In the folder: "Documents & Videos Various" there is a PDF file:

myRANraafLogBooks.pdf (51Mb)

If you regard your flying as equivalent to my Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm hours then I just weep. But you may regard that as being 'hostile'.

Some old videos from around my time in the RAN FAA (not including the other air arms shown):

Pretty cool JO video snippet from VFA37, shows some carrier landings and HUD footage for night and CASE 3 (includes LSO audio).

Enjoy!
