So does anyone know why the coastal route is so low, and inflexible?
I recall heading south, after holding at Anna Bay at 1000 for about ten minutes, that my request to descend to 500 due weather was refused multiple times. Maybe it's because they wanted to keep us on radar, but was there seriously traffic below us ??
And has anyone ever been granted clearance to deviate from the corridor due weather (e.g. cutting the corner to avoid the usual Port Stephens low cloud)?
