I have no problem with their decision to try the same runway again. First attempt you gotta already know that it’s gonna go from a tailwind to a headwind at some point. Second attempt you now know when that shift is gonna occur and be able to anticipate it and adjust appropriately to maintain a stabilized approach (whatever that companies criteria is) . I’d take that over flying an approach with a quartering tailwind that shifts to a quartering headwind from the opposite direction. Two different crews can come to different conclusions based on the same info and neither one of them are wrong. To dwell on their decision making longer than a few minutes is beyond me.

This is the dummest APC thread I've seen in a long time.

In my best Peter Griffin voice OH... MY... GOD... WHO THE HELL CARES!

Your entire post is second guessing and questioning their decision.

LMAO. Is it wrong if that’s the first thing that came to my mind?

I don’t think I’ve ever read something so idiotic. If this is the best thing you have to do in your free time then I truly feel sorry for you. Moving on…
