5. What's the weather in FRA?
6. What's the weather in AMS? If you're going to be dumping for 30 minutes, you may as well be going somewhere.
Engine overheat problem on a twin with a full pax load .
Finally was able to convince the party involved in this minor occurance that the crew did the right thing and that I would have probably done the same by returning to ATH .
