From a pilots perspective, mainly from those with experience in the area, is Lord Howe a concern for cloud, or is it mainly just the strong and unpredictable winds causing turbulence that mean you can't land there?
I'm tipping that the majority of traffic is IFR, however I'm sure there's plenty of VFR.
I'm just wondering what the true value of a weather camera will be...
- VFR over the top?
- Cloud / fog on the ground?
I haven't been in the Tasman enough times to know if fog and low cloud are an issue.
Edit: Seems I've answered my own question by looking at their website :-)
What I didn't realise is that the runway is only 888 metres and needs to be extended by 2023 as Qantas won't be running the Dash8-200 after then.
