My assumption in my previous post was that the aircraft is capable of doing it and that the weather was OK.
Who is to say you will be at or below max landing weight when you divert to Forrest? Coming back from Perth with a full plane and heaps of gas on my type (should be obvious) you would be many tonnes overweight. With a cargo fire indication you're not exactly going to hold for an hour to burn off the extra gas!
