This is something you don't see everday:

MWCB 110300Z 110606 02025G35KT 9999 FEW20 SCT200

TEMPO 0324 SHRA BKN018 SCT080

TEMPO 0224 +TSRA SCT016CB

BECMG 1024 02035G45KT BKN018 OVC080

BECMG 2224 36060G140KT

Check out the 22Z-24Z time group. Win 360 at 60 gusting to 140 knots.

Does that mean we need a second alternate?

Sure hope runway 36 is available!! (wouldn't have to be very long!)joel

The book says 1/2 the wind plus the gust. 140ref + 30 + 120 that is an approach speed of 290kts.

Better check your math...

140 Vref + 30 (half wind) + 80 (gust factor 140-60=80) = 250 Vef corrected

He was just adding a little for "mom and the kids".

LOL! Probably!

 

[TurboS7]

More like Mom and the kids were distracting me at the time I was quickly doing my math. The book also says the correction should be to a maximun of 30 knts which I left out, otherwise the pun of the thread would have been useless.

So I guess you'd have to request a waiver to the 200 knot C and D limit, too?


Groundspeed- 110 knots, though. You would make the first turnoff for sure, and then after turning off, you would be able to watch the hurricane upside down from the grass next to the runway!
