Whether the Weather.....

...... will be as forecast.

Gossip has it a QF flight to DRW had planned on it being a CAVOK arrival, but late in the flight storms were on offer. On arrival storm sitting over the approach end, the other end of the runway in the clear, but tailwind precluded landing. Went missed on the first approach and advised if the autoland following went missed they would declare a fuel emergency to Tindal. Autoland to the Cat I ILS successful.

Are domestic guys trained and current for autolands as a get out of jail card?

Shades of Norfolk and Mildura.
