Rainy weather in Sydney
Pity you couldn't send some of the rain over here to Adelaide...
A QF FF reported that heavy rain in Sydney early last night caused them to have to sit in the holding point queue for almost 25 minutes. The pax was on VH-VZA QF 743 SYD-ADL with an elapsed block time of 2 hrs 25 minutes, normally its about 1 hour 55. Also on Friday night on QF 785 SYD-ADL , a well known Adelaide identity reported that they also spent about 25 minutes in the queue. They arrived Adelaide just before curfew and a possible diversion and overnight in Canberra was avoided ( the pax raised the subject with an FA whilst waiting at SYD ). It sounded as though the flight was given preferential take-off priority to avoid busting ADL curfew....can ATC do that? |
Just out of curiousity, if a SYD-ADL flight doesn't meet the ADL curfew, why would it divert to CBR to overnight and not MEL? It has already happened once before and I never quite understood why. MEL surely is both closer and has more parking space and hotel rooms!

The clouds at Sydney airport last night were dark, low & thick. A Virgin Blue plane conducted a go around from about where the Stamford is. One my way home, I was talking to a passenger on a Jetstar flight from Melbourne & he said that the plane was shaking all over the place when on approach into Sydney after being in a holding pattern somewhere for about 20mins.
