Tough day at the office: YSSY
It's the sort of day when airline management should look out the window and see that pilots are worth what they pay them.
Oh, and 500 hour total cadet pilots shouldn't be in the front seat of a jet!

As for 500hr cadets, they will defend that one to the death-someone elses
Gotcha Kremin, 54kts!

Drat. And here's me at home, watching trees down all over the place when I could be having the time of my life.
Just watching the SQ A380 turn over Botany Bay now. I think at this time of day it's a departure rather than a go around. Awesome all the same.

Not flying today... and damn glad too! The Southwesterlies are the bad ones now at Sydney due to the construction that has been taking place at the International. Lots of mechanical turbulence near the threshold of 16R from the new car park and elsewhere.

At least it's straight down the runway in Wellington!

Ok, kiwis win this argument but lose on the medal table (just)

As an ex Wellingtonian, now living in YSSY - today's weather here aint nowt but a gentle zephyr.
NZWN is a man's airport, with horrible, bollock shrinking cross winds, huge gusts, and big fat hills on either side.
Like landing on a freaking aircraft carrier in a gale on a bad day.
Many memories of looking out the rain spattered window of a 737, straight down the centreline as some guy in seat 0A was having the time of his life feeding in some insane crab angle.
Crosswind, schmosswind...

So long as you're not pissing into the wind Kremlin!
Still going, try 82kt @ 1000' at Wlg. Not so bad though, the SE wind there is the one that scares me. Zqn even worse for turb.

Didn't realise it was a pissing contest.
