I don't understand why the plane flew directly through the top of a small intense microburst thunderstorm. Planes of this caliber have onboard radar systems and they normally make small route corrections to avoid this stuff.
Well, they saw the weather deteriorating. November 722 said “picking up precipitation we need to climb “ and requested 2,000 feet to FL370. ATC immediately granted that request, and said “no further right from your current heading for traffic.” And a left turn would have put them into the bigger storm complex they were on the edge of. |
