I have been on one when it went perth - kunnas in the wet and it went direct so I guess it does
Mate, the 146-300 can do PH - KU , its mostly t/wind up, h/wind back ( and not normally > 60 kts hwc ) and wet or not does'nt matter ( unless inter or tempo on ).
In winter we occasionally struggled to do AD-KG ( not ML-KG ), could'nt physically carry enough gas.
I think ML-KG about another 380 NMs ?
Happy to be corrected ( as always
) but think u will find ML-KG significantly longer than PH-KU ( plus the > 100 hwc more than 1/2 the year )
Bras, how much gas those " ERs " hold
