It could be that your DO and CP thought you should have continued to your destination without incident and used the type IV to take off again. This is a totally different question than flight in to light freezing drizzle or rain. Was your problem flying in to -fzdz because you might not be able to take off again? Or was it just flying in to the wx to land at the destination? |
Sorry about the confusion on this. The whole Type 4 issue came about because about 10 days prior to this incident I had refused to depart Louisville, KY (SDF) for the same reason. One of their arguments was that since we have a holdover time for -FZRA I was safe to go. I disagree (so does Dornier and NASA).
The issue for the Dayton flight for which I was suspended was that I wasn't going to shoot an approach into -FZRA.
