Ugleeual,

To a degree, I understand your rational for not landing on 29 in a heavy. . But what if a crew refuses the RNAV 29, and subsequently went off the runway on 22 due to the crosswind? What if the landing distance calculations are more restrictive on 22 with a large crosswind and anpproach speed additives, than the 29 approach with a 30 kt headwind? Would you still land on 22?
I’m not trying to question your skills, as I’ve said before, I have a good friend at Delta who also refuses the 29 approach.
