Does anybody know whether or not a Westwind with full tanks would be able to carry the approximate load (6 POB, aeromed gear etc) that this one had?
Am thinking, if you can take the fuel, why not?
Know nothing about the Westwind...

Also, does anyone have any idea of the fuel prices between Apia and NLK? Wondering if kero is cheaper in Apia- if so, would have made more sense to load as much as possible on then rather than taking mins....


The report makes for interesting reading, but the final one should line up all the holes for us.
Maybe CASA will amend the CAOs to (in better phrase than mine) "All flights to remote aerodromes require an alternate." ??????
