601
601,
I have used RWY 14 before and if my wheels were broken there is no way that I would conduct a wheels up on RWY 14 in a Q400 if a much bigger (and wider) RWY was available next to it.
Granted the 'deathpencil' is a bit smaller than the 400, but in the same situation I would be demanding 01/19 over 14/32.
A much bigger RWY, a much wider RWY - therefore a safer RWY for a wheels up. I'll be damned if Im going to compromise the safety of myself and others on board (more than it is already), just for the convenience of other inbound aircraft when Amberley and Gold Coast are only a few mins away for them.
Good decision by the pilot to use 01/19 in my opinion.
Eternity.
