Talk about basics.... Why a downwind landing? We all know AWOS not
always correct.

In the report.

The airplane appeared to be coming in faster than usual for a small plane and according to the
windsock beside the runway; the plane was landing with the wind not against it.


Witness statement would seem to be credible if the plane had a
tailwind.
