Another Interesting Day at YPPH...
With the advent of 'that' Low passing just to the South, the Winds have come up 'a la' winter storms....in Spring / Summer..
Lots of go-arounds at YPPH off Rwy 03 approach, with cross winds in the order of 26 kts and thereabouts....
Recent x/wind peak @ 35kts....(Dct fm Twr @ 0715Z)
Naturally, some wind shear, although the wind is from the NNW, so not as bad as if it was from 'over the ranges'....
And, of course, those passing showers....
You've earned your pay today, boys and girls!!
And, on such a day, the Public Viewing area is closed to the public!!
How else are us 'lower mortals' going to learn how to put it down in one piece..??

I was thinking of going to the public platform, after watching a qantas 737 overhead Cannington crabbing , seemingly, at 45 degrees to the approach path
news on the radio mentions a number of missed approaches, those squalls are very strong. Earning their pay today. And on that path, carrying more power down the approach, old mate at Canning Vale must be off the scale with his noise complaints

Was paxing in (Skywest) A320 this afternoon around 12. One go around (was VERY bumpy), and a relatively smooth landing the second time - given the conditions.
Nice job Cap'n. Small round of applause and a cheer or two after touchdown.

The 'Public Viewing Area' was CLOSED ALL DAY DUE WEATHER!!!
Something about public liability I was told.....
They don't want you to 'slip over' on the wet footpath...or sumphin' like that....
Bah Humbug!!
How else are 'we' the great unwashed, going to 'score' the landings..??

Forget the go arounds - and there were many low level over the runway today - what about that Air Mauritius departure.....
OMG ! ! !
Spectacular, yet disturbing. Definitely THE show of the day.....

Seems the viewing platform was open for a while.

1 hr 52 mins from taxi to rolling RWY 03. Very specky from the front end watching the arrivals and G/As!!!
I just wish people like Joyce and Co were sitting in the back watching what the troops do on days like this. Every dollar well and truly earned !

I love it when the breeze picks up a bit... 
Don't worry Griff, popping out and seeing no less than 8 aircraft lined up at Mike watching you (and probably all laughing their heads off) was enough to put the heebie jeebies up ya without the public watching!

Of course they would never use their little brains and do some research now would they?

Can anyone tell me if they received predictive warnings on the wind shear. It helps with what I am doing for the AIP.
INterested to know if the missed approaches were PIC intitiated or based on the warning. I know they are all PIC intitiated but I am interested in whether the go round was predicated on the warning being received.

Qantas 737 did a couple of go arounds due to windshear warnings. I'd say the skipper would have been flying and the FO was getting pretty grumpy on the radio.
It was a tough day at the office!
And yeah that Air Mauritius was crazy. Gear stayed down so I'd say he got a windshear warning and kept the config...

It's not 'only PIC initiated'
It would be pretty poor form as an effo continuing a bungled approach waiting for the skipper to utter those magic words when the old boy has carked it and you don't know.
