Ok no Alternate but did he calculate a PNR based on one and two Engine return to Noumea?
Did he then check the weather etc just before the PNR to make an informed decision??
He should not have been surprised at TOD regarding the weather at Norfolk Island, he should have been on top of it at all times.
I've never flown there but I'd like to think my pucker factor not to mention survival instinct would have dictated a little more follow up of the actual weathers considering the fact it was Norfolk Island we were flying to ( with no Alternate ) and not Sydney.
Yes he may have had a TAF but even I know the reputation of Norfolk........
mmmmmm ok thought not...
