King Air goes missed at 04:30ish
Windshear alerts reported by unknown aircraft at 10:40ish mark and 12:03ish, 12:25ish
SWA 278 on at approx
32:15 it appears. First wind report given to that aircraft (garbled, believed to be 278) is
"wind 260 at
9, and (garbled) reported good (garbled) minutes ago by a 737". Cleared to land, Runway 8 also stated by tower.
tower discusses areas of heavy precip "directly on top of Burbank" at 34:09
"winds 270 at
10" by Tower to unknown aircraft at 34:28
note: (Speculation) based on audio comms it appears significant weather may have existed on the departure end and this
may have impacted any "go around/missed" decision making.
** for some reason when I listened to the above link it did not capture the incident itself beyond that
I did not see any "numerous windshear reports in the last hour" or "we had a few aircraft go missed within the hour" passed to SWA278. Maybe "not required" per FAA policy but it would be good from an S.A. standpoint.
Not so sure I would be dropping the crew in the grease over this one.
Remember all accidents require numerous holes in the swiss cheese to line up.
