Shark Patrol - how does QF mitigate the risk of
unforecast deterioration at the destination after the PSD / PDA or whatever TLA QF calls it?
How do other airlines mitigate it?
Will the fact that the "rare occasion" has happened twice in two weeks be cause for review?
So if Qantas followed that path, maybe we would be flying across the Pacific just using Richmond or Williamtown as our destination alternate.
Well a 5 second check shows no fog at YWLM at the time that QF did its auto land in YSSY. (And to save thread digression, I don't even know the a/c type - assume it's heavy - so I understand that YWLM may not be suitable from runway, customs etc, but the point remains that a suitable airport could be close by).
