The reason for diverting is more about rules than simply the distance. If the weather was marginal at Tampa and the pilots were worried that another failed attempt would lead them to have less than the required fuel to reach the diversion airport (Ft Lauderdale) while still staying above their minimum reserve fuel, then they'd be required to divert without making that additional attempt. Realistically, they'd still probably have enough fuel to reach Ft Lauderdale, but there'd be more paperwork to fill out.... |
