MEL Operations Question

[Bula]

Hi people,

just wondering what limited runway 27 ops today? No NOTAMS.

the wind was 310/15g25. requests denied in general.

I thought 27/34 operation was a normal mode?

Who knows? There may be a reason, but I doubt it.
It’s an Australian thing. Maximum inconvenience for the maximum number of people.

Don’t worry, they’re building a parallel 27. That’ll fix it.

Whilst you mentioned 27, is the ILS DME ever coming back? Seems to be a rolling ‘implementation delay’
Aus airports can’t seem to do too much in a hurry these days... *cough* hobart VOR *cough*

Perhaps practicing for the new GLS34 App to see how many VCA's (potential) there will be next week !:-)

Without pulling out my whiz wheel; it sounds like 27 was possibly the most in to wind runway - there seems to be an unwritten rule about avoiding into wind runways. 27 mainly used with quartering tailwinds. 😂
