You won't need an aircraft to get airborne...

An alternate would be required ?

Doors wind speed limits?

Reckon one of these would work? https://www.euroga.org/system/1/user...65291892_n.jpg |
Not to turn this into a pissing contest, but not uncommon in Australia during cyclone season. The strongest wind gust recorded on the Australian mainland is 267 km/h. The gust was recorded during cyclone Vance at 11:50 am (WST) 22 March 1999 at Learmonth Meteorological Office, 35 km south of Exmouth. Wind gusts of 259 km/h at Mardie and 246 km/h at Onslow were measured during cyclone Trixie in February 1975. |
In 50 years never seen 200kts forecast anywhere - seen the odd typhoon around Asia.
|
Cyclone Tracy, which devastated Darwin in Christmas 1974, recorded a 217 km/hr maximum wind speed before the anemometer failed. Given the scale of the destruction it was likely much higher. |
I guess the port has been freed by now? |

We’ve got enough biggest, most poisonous, longest records. We don’t need to make up more. |

hmmm, I’ve never seen 200kt in a TAF in Oz in the last 20 + years. Yasi was estimated at “only” 300kmh. We’ve got enough biggest, most poisonous, longest records. We don’t need to make up more. |

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.) |
Freeport airport is currently under five feet of water. |
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! |

knots are nm/h skadi |
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:
