Qlink Cobham 717s payload limited
Heard this the other day. 717s out of CBR can't make BNE with holding fuel requirements and are doing tech stops enroute. Apparently Tamworth is the logical stop but ops have instructed the crew to land at Williamtown for gas. Go figure? Also leaving bags behind. Another ill conceived plan by those that don't understand performance verse obstacle gradients for a twin engine aircraft limited by second segment capability at relatively high density altitude airfield with a destination that is notorious for extended traffic delays. In other words not enough grunt!
