Just a point, those Aussie speeds are in Km/hr. They don't come close to kts/hour.

Try KEF for size, not as strong winds, but 50kts in snow isn't that usual, and we keep operating.... just ;-o

Extra fuel, anyone?
Enough for two approaches before diverting!?
|
Translation : if TAF is more then two lines long , stay at home ... |
Which one of those symbols indicates the depth?
Freeport airport is currently under five feet of water. Thoughts for all those affected, may this damn thing move out to sea and stay far offshore (out of the shipping lanes, please.) |

Hopefully there are some RNAV/GNSS approaches, that sort of flooding tends to put ground based aids out of action for a few days. |
Fun day out...even a 30 degree crosswind component would give you 100 knots of crosswind! |

In defense of some posters, Western Australia is actually where the strongest wind gust ever recorded hit - at 408 km/h.

This is what an airport looks like during that:

It's just a little standing water, perfectly flyable as long as you account for it in the take off and landing performance.

Runways awash ...
Brings back memories of doing a 'FOD plod' at GIB with a fishing boat on (and I do mean on) the eastern end of the runway following a touch of weather. Couldn't see how that was going to fit in a rubbish bag, but off we went from the western end :rolleyes:
