PLT ARRIVES NEAR LNDG AREA AND FINDS WINDS ARE STILL OUTSIDE OF LIMITS; LANDS ANYWAY. DID NOT ELECT TO GAR OR REQUEST OTHER RWY ACCOUNT OF NOISE RESTRICTIONS ON OTHER RWY.

Narrative

ON RAALF 1 STAR OVER PVD CLRED INTERCEPT 4R LOC. ESTABLISHED INBOUND. CLRED TO 3500 FT CLRED APCH. APCH CTL STATED WINDS ON APCH WERE APPROX 130 DEGS AT 60 KTS TO 500 FT AGL; THEN DECREASING TO 130 DEGS AT 19 KTS. DSCNT WAS IMC IN ICING CONDITIONS REQUIRING ENGS TO BE SPOOLED UP. I NOTED THAT 15R WOULD BE BETTER AND MADE COMMENT TO APCH CTL BUT; BEING BOSTON BASED; KNEW THAT IF SURFACE WINDS WERE LESS THAN 90 DEGS AT 20 KTS RELATIVE; NOISE WOULD PREVENT USE OF RWY 15. I WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT 1000 FT AGL PROPERLY CONFIGURED; ON GS AND ON SPD WITH RWY IN SIGHT OUT L SIDE WINDOW. MODERATE TURB. WIND STILL 130 DEGS AT 60 KTS. TWR RPTED SURFACE WINDS 130 DEGS AT 19 KTS. I ELECTED TO CONTINUE. IN FACT; THE WINDS WERE QUITE ERRATIC BTWN 500 FT AGL AND 100 FT AGL. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DECRAB AND LAND IN A CTLED MANNER; BUT A LNDG WAS SUCCESSFUL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE COMMENCED THE APCH GIVEN THE RPT FROM APCH CTL BUT SHOULD HAVE INSISTED ON RWY 15. HAVING MADE THAT MISTAKE; I SHOULD HAVE GONE AROUND AT 500 FT. GET HOMEITIS ALMOST GOT ME! THE TWR WENT TO 15 OP AFTER MY 'LNDG.'
