What the original TAF had forecast; and
if the amended TAF was passed on to the pilot.

The Hobart TAF doesn’t tell you what the conditions are like around Federation Peak. I’m just suggesting if she was operating VFR, there are clues that it would be pretty crappy down there. I have flown that route over 100 times. Scared the bejezzus out of myself a couple.
Just wondering if anyone knows if they tend to operate IFR or VFR. I can find no published instrument plate for YBHB.
Anyone know the conditions that the Chopper or Challenger crew encountered on the day?
