I am sure the RAAF will fix it soon.
To the Pilot, good to report it I suppose, but what happened to a bit of improvisation.
Remember that the NT NEWS would oversensationalise the death of a Rodent, especially if eaten by a croc.
Do you ya get wind reports at Gove, Manangrida,Ngukurr etc. etc. no. So what happens then?

Back to basics guys and gals,this is where Pilot reports and using the Windsock comes in.

As for giving wind to an arriving jet on the approach at night in IMC during the wet. Well it may get a bit tough, what about doing VORDME at Gove in the same conditions, no difference really, except the Approaches themselves.

Your TAFS have the wind still, no doubt for alternates etc.
