ngt ops into Hotham would only be allowable under very dire circumstances. A mecry flight would have to be the flt cat. for my Co.
Dangerous place, not for the faint hearted in lousy wx & at night I'd say.
Where lucky in this country, the wx generally is near perfect compared to a lot of OS places. One snow flake falling on ML or SY would mean total closure 'till the sun came out !
Tongue in cheek but you get my menaing!
