⟩ Now on approach, thunderstorm 3-4 miles away, Capt is flying, what do you do Storm gets closer, you are now @ 600ft and wind is beyond limits, what do you do On your way to the alternate which is 20 min away, would you talk about it How would you bring it up when you do bring it up Are you going to formally let anyone know about this?
Inform the Captain the wind is beyond our limits and recommend we divert to our alternate. At 600', if the Captain is still not terminating the approach, I call "Go Around". During the 20 minute divert, I do not talk about the missed approach, just stay focused on preparing for the arrival at the diversion airport. If there is time, I offer to attend to logistics for our passengers. Once we land, I ask the Captain if we can privately debrief the missed approach and diversion. There's no need to formally report the diversion unless the Captain shows a disregard for company procedures, limitations, and safety of flight.
