Resorting to name calling is poor form indeed
Keg, I did not say that qantas fuelling up and shooting through delayed virgin in any way, I just stated the facts, as unpalatable as that may be. Qantas waited until virgin landed and then departed (after the weather improved) which it was always going to do , and may have done so within qantas's legal fuel reserves.
Go around fuel and shoot another approach is 500 kg, adding this to virgins final landing fuel, gives them 1025 on final, absolute rock solid reason to go 250 ' below minima. The assertion that it is 1100 kg is plain wrong.
The gist of all this ho hah from my proponents, apart from a few name callers seems to be, "So long as weather is not as forecast and deteriorating and you have no fuel left to divert you can go any amount below minima regardless of how much fuel you have on board" quite absurd thought processes.
One of my proponents has even given me a job as a dj FO, another false comment.
How about stick to the facts, and play the ball not the man.
I have stuck rigidly to facts, the rest of you use an interesting embroidering technique.
