Recently, there have been several "diversions" from Tweed (Wilmington & Bradley) due to bad weather, fog, etc.
It was reported that of approx seven flights that tried to land in foggy conditions, only one managed to touch down,
the rest were "diverted" to those other sites I mentioned above.
HVN, as you pilots are well aware, is a very short runway, 5,600 feet.
Would really appreciate an honest assessment of the safety issues inherent for Avelo vis-a-vis Tweed.
Thank you.
