Hi all,

Note that UA/QF 744 and A380 aircraft bound for USA departing on 34L track out on runway heading and then make right turn out over Northern Beaches way on departure. However non 744/A380 aircraft such as AC777, DL777 and VA777 all do the standard left turn @ 500ft I think it is, and track out over western Sydney before eventually turning and heading back East.

Something I have wondered for years but never got around to asking. Please explain.

Cheers,

TK
