Cunning,
You are a twit. Oz bashing – I am an ozzie. Whats your point.
Yes, the example was ADL – I haven’t flown in oz for 2 years and have forgotten the numbers – runway lengths etc.
Is terrain clearance less from adl 23 intersection. Cant remember but if it is – so what.
CASA allow it. AN,
VB,QF all allow it. The ops engineers spend a lot of time and money drawing up intersection charts to enable it. I have seen all airlines do intersection departures from DRW,SYD,MEL,ADL,BNE,CNS and others I guess. Is terrain clearance compromised. I guess so.
If you define professionalism as always doing full-length departure in a lightly loaded short flight twin jet then good for you. Most others apparently don’t.
