YBBN-YSSY Flights Tracking Coastal

[Grahame Hutchison]

Just noticed that the Brisbane-Sydney flights are tracking down the coast rather than inland, with even the Brisbane-Melbourne flights tracking coastal until Coffs Harbour and then heading inland.

Any particular reason other than weather ?

I don't think there's any other reason. We're getting very bad storm cells in South East QLD and Northern NSW.

Yeah it was def weather.

Many aircraft went way off track:
