Ansett Autoland at Adelaide 1999
It is interesting to compare the Mildura event with this incident that happened 14 years ago. It was a similar problem solved by an unauthorised procedure. Nothing has changed today except the BOM observations are done from a location closer to the runway.
If my memory serves me correctly the A320 crew were praised for their handling of the incident. They did not have much fuel left after landing (1500KG)
Investigation: 199904029 - Airbus Industrie A320-211, VH-HYO, Adelaide, Aero. SA, 20 August 1999
