Was YMIA a suitable airport for an alternate - width, weight, length, permission owners?? for your scenario.
Yes absolutely. It's a public aerodrome!
YPWR was not a suitable alternate as PPR is required!
The issue at hand is the in ability of the BOM to forecast and to report fog and the lack of CAT II/III in Australia.
It has nothing to do with fuel as even with a alternate policy the same result would have happened.
be warned there is ill-informed comment contained witin the hansard text from a certain grumpy old Senator
Yeah and these people are running the show
