Plotted the descent point and is 60NM in round figures from Mascot (as quoted by WhisprSYD) ie Canberra was 76NM behind and Goulburn 36. Cruise speed unchanged to TOD. Tracked overhead SYD for a left downwind landing to the south.
the aircraft would of needed 25 miles of vectoring on one engine to get down on an unfamiliar approach through the Bankstown training zone
As it was, from overhead SYD to touch down consumed 15 minutes. Details from flightaware.
