He didn't say there was. Just that four airplanes took off when advisories were in effect. He didn't mention who everyone else was, beside him.
And yes actually, I have seen 5,500fpm out of the Q, and that was WITHOUT going into overtravel. Definitely, don't want to actually need that climb rate but it has it. If there is reported 90 kt shear I'm not going to try it, I'm going somewhere else.
Oh we definitely had one. I just don't remember what it was. Either way it comes down to PIC discretion. If there is windshear we have every right to NOT go.
FlyandDive,
No, I am not criticizing the crew that operated that day or your company. We are 1 company so why would I pick on Lynx pilots?? That is immature and I wouldn't do that.
I am sorry for what is currently happening to Lynx but I'm sure you understand that you nor I have no control over that. I just show up and fly planes. Just wanted to know your procedures for such an event and that is all. My intention was not to slam your pilot group. If it came across that way, I apologize.
Have a nice weekend.
