I believe the aircraft require a gear swing on jacks in the hangar, that’s why they ferry gear down. SYD have the facilities to do that. AVV and ASP don’t.

Adding 1 cycle is an insignificant cost over the life of an aircraft.

Just leaves a huge fuel bill !!!..... Hope they used their Coles Discount card and got 4 cents off per litre...

Checked wheels, about to depart SYD.

ASP to SYD with wheels down 03:32hr
