Canberra, rwy35 in particular, is one of those approaches and landings that can bite you in the arse very quickly. Certainly not helped by the multi-storey buildings on the west of the runway when the westerlies kick in.

But even with an Easterly wind there can be enough chop to result in having a bad day if you're complacent, especially if you think that

CBR easterlies at 10-15kts tend to not be windsheary or get the terminal/hangar bumps.
Btw, RightSideUp I'm not having a go at you with the above quote, as I have the same opinion. But I've also landed on rwy35 at CBR enough to know that you can get smashed around, and have experienced both positive and negative windshear in almost any weather conditions.

Like Snakecharma said, just my observations.

DIVOSH!
