Clear skies and strong tailwinds*
Except when landing or taking off!

Take out the bad weather (and crash) and that final approach could have been one of mine!

...it was an ILS approach, so therefore an IFR flight. He should have fuel planned for a diversion, unless this WAS his diversion field, in which case his primary must have been REALLY bad, in which case why was he out flying at all that day? So many emotions in that situation, the most overpowering urge is to land, BUT NOT UNDER A THUNDERSTORM FFS!! The downdraft at the end is the reason why not.
