Another interesting aspect of this matter is that it is not the first time an RPT aircraft has landed in below minima conditions at Mildura due unforecast fog. One I remember was in the Kendell days. Landed with only minutes of fuel after diversions trying to find a clear airport. Fog was not forecast anywhere in the area.
If our SMS systems are designed to prevent repeats and are overseen by CASA to prevent same what went wrong here ? ( asked a little tongue in cheek considering Norfolk and many other similar episodes.)
