Well for our arrival into Perth, the Captain said the winds were "light" from the NNE. So I guess we just got lucky.
The mid-afternoon take-off from Perth, we had winds that were "quite strong" coming from the NE, hence the rwy 06 departure, along with the captain telling us there was quite a bit of "moderate" turbulence to expect right from take-off until we got we over the top of the lower level clouds.
However, I am going to go out on a bit of a limb here and say that I don't personally believe all the bumps (as evident in my Perth takeoff video) were due to merely wind and turb. It just seemed to me that rwy06 at Perth probably isn't the smoothest of runways either, unless most of the bumps were as a result of hitting all the runway surface lights?
Anyways, that's just my thinking, and I'm probably going to be proven wrong anyway.
Cheers
