Cooly will have an ILS operational by the end of the year anyway.

JB can do more for the escalation of QF domestic as Virgin Australia CEO than he can do back at QF with his hands tied by all the Dixon/Joyce appointed sycophants that are so caught up in "make JQ work at all costs" model!

Jetstar pilot.

Some light reading for you about circling approaches.

Unfortunately we can't tell the 304 people killed during circling approaches over a two year period to toughen up. Their no longer with us.

The worldwide trend is to avoid circling approaches where possible.

While we are at it perhaps a brush up for the VOR approach steps and the control steps for Air Asia X coming into OOL. Good luck runs out eventually!

The ILS cannot come fast enough for this place.

I think most professional organisations have moved on from circling approaches.

Haven't Jetstar recently banned circling approaches?

I doubt that Jetstar Pilot is even a JSP or even a pilot. Usually he chucks in a hand grenade then vacates the forum. With RNP-AR Jetstar pilots don't need to do circling approaches into Coolie and as FFG-02 states they are not to do them anyway. Finally if JSP knew what he/she was on about they would have to know that circling is the least suitable option to get into OOL when the weather sets in.

I smell a rat!

While circling approaches are fun to do in the sim or on a fair weather day, they are a different kettle of fish at night in poor weather close to the minima.

I certainly won't be missing them during cyclics
