Default Sydney Wild Weather

looks like the wild weather has forced a few go arounds this afternoon...

Something to keep an eye on.

I believe QF537 has gone around..

Saw the ATIS said an Embraer reported severe overshoot and undershoot shear on final. In other words, don't even bother!

Wasn't as bad out at Bankstown, about 20-25kts......oh until the blackout that took out a large chunk of the area around the airport.

The ATIS was quoting 40-60kts at one stage just after the change hit. The Embraer got the varying severe shear at 150' on final...nasty!

Oh, and the office needs a new double glazed front door. Apparently slamming shut in 60kt gusts is a bit beyond design specs.....

The sort of weather that would have me putting my aircraft to bed and going home. Stuff flying in that, no matter how urgent the flight.

I was on the train last night and heard engines spooling up and down over both St Peters and Sydenham - glad I was on the train and not the flights....

Heard a Jet Star pilot exclaim,thanks to a hot mike.
"Oh f%$#n' hell", on being given clearance to continue approach to 16L.ATC then informed him that they got all the readback,including the "bits we weren't supposed to".
They landed ok.
