    At 17:50Z Palermo's ATIS had reported winds from 060 degrees at 14 knots, visibility 4000 meters, moderate rain, cloud one to two octers ceiling 1800 feet, 3-4 octers ceiling 2200 feet, 5-7 octers ceiling 3000 feet, temperature 20 degrees C, dew point 18 degrees C, QNH 1000 hPa, windshear reported for runway 20.

    What's an octer? I wonder is it the same as an okta??!! :rolleyes:

    You know the drill SU if the 'r' isn't there you add it in.

    If it is in there you leave it out.

    Example Punchestown... no 'r' They will call it Puncherstown.Guaranteed.

    Example Corporation... the 'r' is there... They will call it 'Coporation.Guaranteed.


    Figure that one out missus.;)


    I can't.

    She's still lying on the grass by the threshold to Rwy 25. They have managed to remove the Windjet logo however. :D

    Palermo's a nasty airport to land in when there's a strong southerly wind blowing. I could see an incident like that happening again.

    Great idea to build an airport next to a shear mountain!

    It's a testament to modern A/C design that there were no serious injuries, the antenna mast stuck tru the front is giving me the heebie jeebies thinking of the co-pilots perch. She hit the ground so close to a little inlet/bay it could have been a lot worse if they'd caught that rock lip just off the port wing!
