Another Interesting Day at YPPH...

With the advent of 'that' Low passing just to the South, the Winds have come up 'a la' winter storms....in Spring / Summer..

Lots of go-arounds at YPPH off Rwy 03 approach, with cross winds in the order of 26 kts and thereabouts....
Recent x/wind peak @ 35kts....(Dct fm Twr @ 0715Z)

Naturally, some wind shear, although the wind is from the NNW, so not as bad as if it was from 'over the ranges'....

And, of course, those passing showers....

You've earned your pay today, boys and girls!!

And, on such a day, the Public Viewing area is closed to the public!!

How else are us 'lower mortals' going to learn how to put it down in one piece..??
