Pussies!
.....hiding behind Nick Xylophone..
I'm no pussy....nor puppy.....but if it is intersecting runways that they are concerned about (LAHSO I presume) then surely the greatest risk of collision is on the ground rather than in the air?
Either way, I hope it never occurs.

The practice is banned in most parts of the world, but permitted in Australia, the United States and Canada.
But there are strict conditions governing when a pilot is allowed to land on a runway that intersects another that is in use.

ABC gutter trash...
My brief re-read of the rules, is that this part is dictated by the manufacturers POH, including demonstrated Xwind and performance data, closely followed by the operators handbooks and policy, at all times decided by the Pilot in command. Dang, I am ticketed on lighties with a better Xwind componant than this purported.
Greg Hood should have told em to get stuffed until they get a clue.
YMML cross runway ops have operated for years without seperation incidents. LAHSO is more risky, but the traffic levels see to it that LAHSO is rarely used.
This ABC left wing crap is saying the controllers cannot do their job and need further regulation.
Truth is, the ABC can't do their job and need another funding cut!
Cross winds have to be less than 20 knots and tail winds less than 5 knots.

jas24zzk, which bit do you object to? The general rule for LAHSO is 20 and 5. Surely the more adverse the conditions the higher the chance of a go-around and the greater the risk of a collision.
The article is saying nothing about controllers and everything about rules. The whole intention of such general rules is to operate well within the normal capabilities of any aircraft likely to be involved to minimise the risk.
You have an unusual definition of "rarely". It'd be a rare week we don't use it at some stage.
Methinks you need to go easy on the LNP anti-ABC Kool-Aid. It should carry a health warning as it rots the brain.

Maybe they could spend some of the billions they make from car parks on another new runway. Would pay for it in no time.

Not much left after paying Mc Bank management fees and directors bonuses mate, hell there's not even enough left to pay any tax.
Guess they have to pay tax in the Bahamas...oh yeah tax free zone aint it.

Oh that the ABC could produce balanced and informative commentary such as that produced by brilliant and even-handed experts like Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt.
All that we'll be left with is 'A Current Affair' and shows like Big Brother and The Farmer Finds a Wife (if he hasn't found one yet). Average IQ of viewers of these shows is about 25, isn't it? Maybe Today Tonight can do a survey.
jas24zzk,
Your statement about crosswinds shows a complete lack of comprehension of the increased risk of collision due go round in LAHSO operations. Perhaps you got it from Mr Bolt.

Inquiry, report, tribunal another report recommendation then Government change repeat all over again nothing happens, this is why Australia is an Island as all Islands are backward...

Misleading thread title...

In every endeavour Banana Island is choking itself in brown tape and bureaucracy and taxes and fees and public servants and...
...If you fly into New York, how many SIDs/STARs/etc are published?
...if you fly into Melbourne or Perth, how many pages of crap are published?
This has nothing to do with Left/right wing crap, it has everything to do with the sheep-like character that typifies Australians in the 21st Century.
We are being manipulated by major corporations and media outlets and the average Aussie doesn't have a clue and doesn't give a ****.
....what was this thread about again?
NURSE!
Sigh. Get off the "they don't don't do it in XXXX (substitute favourite major overseas aerodrome) so why should we here?" horse already. Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, they don't because they can't due to traffic levels and airspace structure?
We keep getting told the airlines like it this way so where are you coming from?

To quote Ren and Stimpy:
"EEDIOTS TO THE LEFT OF ME, EEEDIOTS TO THE RIGHT OF ME, AAAAGGGHHHHH EEEEDIOTS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!"
Yep. The thread has gone to the dogs.
As has the country, for the most part. The number of people happy to accept the crap dished out to them is phenomenal.
