You do not have to land with less than FFR to break the rules. You can break the...

Aircraft fires are not common in Australia either but we justify the huge cost of funds to install and maintain airport fire services at major airports.

It is not an alternate airport for the B737-800. Emergencies only.

You would not carry Mildura as a weather alternate in normal operations.

In my company a report is required if a diversion takes place due to weather, but no report is required if a diversion is avoided due discretionary fuel.
