Do your homework!!

Alice Springs: RWY 12/30 = 2,438m
Melbourne: RWY 09/27 = 2,286

I witnessed the QF dugong landing on 27 in the wee hours the other night. It was at at a guess 60 knots at the intersection of RWY16. I am sure it was well assisted however. The dramas after landing were entertaining. No QF tug to tow it back on to runway (as it the parallel taxiway was closed and once exiting the RWY could not re-enter). And because the outboards hang out in the grass, a full RWY inspection was required before I could depart.
