Just a quick question from an onlookers point-of-view.
Why would you use 16 with 5 knots of downwind and not 34 with 5 knots of headwind? Noise abatement? I guess 16 was the nominated runway but it is still up to the PIC to decide if he requires 34.
Politicians, performance figures etc. etc. etc. Whatever happened to the oldie "the 2 most useless things in avaition, runway behind the aircraft and fuel in the bowser"?
Well done to all as everybody walked away.
