Deteriorating weather conditions on approach.
Deteriorating weather conditions on approach.
Bottom line
Fluctuating weather, shifting winds, blocked runway, etc., are conditions that may result in changes to the approach information previously received. Any pilot who encounters weather conditions that have not been forecast, or hazardous conditions which have been forecast, is expected to forward a report of such weather to ATC.
