Weather Problem for landing - pkmnlio - 02-01-2009
Hello,
I had a problem for landing my plane (King Air 350).
I flyed between EBBR and EBLG but arrived at EBLG, the tower control refuse my landing authorisation (airport IFR because real wheather).
Light visibility and turbulance so I went back to EBBR.
The tower control authorise my landing, I programm my GPS for approch .
I make a hard landing, (flap break down just before the landing).
But no passenger killed ^^.
But the repport inform me that I lose point for wrong airport destination and don't declare emergency, dont' declare emergency, ...
I don't understand why the first ? :s
I understand why "don't declare emergency" (because my flap).
But declare an emerency for change the destination is illogic :s
So I'm going to want to known, What do I do in this situation ?
Try a landing is too dangerous and return to departure airport is penality point.
Thanks and sorry if my English is bad.

You should have checked the weather at the destination airport before you departed, and would have noticed that you couldn't have landed there.
Flight planning......

Weather changes...
I fly a connie, so 15 hours across the Atlantic. Fog can come up in 1 hour, and so can thunderstorms. Now if MS/FS could give you a
weather forecast that would improve things, but unfortunately it doesn't. Even worse, it provides a sort of one size fits all weather and only
updates when you get close (assuming you use rw weather). I did a flight from EHRD to ESSA and checked the weather at the destination
before take off: 10 degrees celcius, while EHRD was 1 C and is like 100 km south of ESSA. When I landed 3 hours later at ESSA it was
minus 14!
