摘要

The following information provides an awareness of problems that might be avoided in the future. The information is based on final reports by official investigative authorities on aircraft accidents and incidents. The A319 flight crew "did not pay enough attention to the complex weather condition" and exercised "weak" decision making when they pressed ahead with an approach into known severe thunderstorm activity after several other crews had diverted to alternate airports, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
