not accepting runway?
Hi.
As I'm a GA driver, I wanted to ask a question regarding RPT runway acceptance at YMML and similar airports
On centre a few days ago RWY 27 at Melbourne was the active, and an emirates (didn't hear if it was heavy or not) wouldn't take that runway with wind at 230/10-15??
Is this purely due to their SOPs
Aircraft too heavy (380 perhaps)?
I assumed its a weight vs distance vs wind issue but I honestly have no idea why?
It sounded as though it threw a spanner in the works for ATC as there were delays and people holding everywhere etc etc.
Thanks in advance.
