Pardon my stupidity in ignorance of the particular airspace but if Cooly is north of Tassy, and Launy is north of Hobart, and “The captain elected to divert as a precautionary measure and Hobart was the closest", which way were they tracking
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's either via ML or coastal via FLI, both of which basically converge at LT, so how did HB get "closer"?
