SunnySA,
There was a C206, at 8000ft transitting Williamtown, bound for Bankstown. It had no problems. One thing I'd like to make clear, a clearance was being arranged, it just had to be at 7000 or 9000, as MDX was catching AZC. FIS5 went back to MDX to ask what height he'd prefer, but was told they were resuming planned track.
I can't recall what the weather was like further south, I'll have to look it up for you and get back. I have the COMPLETE transcript of all communications, from everybody (MDX, FIS5, Willy and Sector one, so that you may see for yourself what was going on prior to him turning west if you want me to put them up?
