macca22au Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If you don't fly in the rain, you never fly.... And, yes I know that ANZ only fly the Q300 plus a miscellany of others from the take-over of other airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A reminder of what's coming to the northern hemi. Atmospheric shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Accurate shot. The runway runs more or less North South & the prevailing wind is a North Wester, so in the windiest season, usually Spring, a lot of 'crabbing' landings occur. On the other hand, landing into the teeth of a Southerly gale can be particularly lumpy. I recall a flight into Wellington from Sydney many years ago, arriving in a very turbulent southerly, to the extent that the fuselage was twisting as the plane bounced around. Lots of creaking a groaning from the fuselage & wings, then a particularly nasty atmospheric 'wrench' had some of the overhead lockers fly open.

Rodger Pettichord Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I've always noticed that the worse the local weather, the more the local pilots enjoy bragging about it. "There I was at 500 feet when the wind reversed direction and doubled in velocity while the barometer dropped sixteen points and a hundred-mile-an-hour wind shear hit the entire runway. But of course, shucks, that's just a normal day for us who fly out of......" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
