Re 'Oh the irony'.......
YPPH used to have an E/W rwy, was it 10/28 (?) of about 1,700m length.
From Google Earth, it measures approx 104 deg T and the W/V was around 100deg. (M), so it is (was) virtually into the prevailing 'Easterly'.
However, that was decommissioned and made a taxiway, m a n y years ago....(early / mid 90's..?)
And yep! I too took the pilot's remarks to mean that 1 more would not have been on....
However, the crew voice in the background says in relation to what are your intents....that they will land rwy 06 and take taxiway W and call ground for taxy cnce....maybe this was just a good lesson for 'the other guy'..(?)
I also am led to understand that the w/v occurrence was unforecast.
However, I'm sure that having a rwy into wind would have helped everybody......
Interesting.....
Cheers
