QF28 diverts to NTL.
With just under 1800m LDA at the moment and a bunch of taxiway closures it would have made for a painful end of trip.
How tight is a 1800m LDA for the 787 given they regularly “require” 34L/16R in Sydney?
If, after a 16hrs + tour of duty, the landing performance is even slightly tight, I would hope a good crew would mitigate the risks and request the longer runway.
Obviously if diverting to a single runway due to weather, as long as the landing performance was adequate, you do what you gotta do.
I’m sure you’re aware of that and are just having a gentle jibe at your fellow colleagues.
