Qantas grounds all flights
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:52:48 AM »
YSSY Twr feed for 29 October at 0600-0630Z, about 10:40 into the stream.

Interesting exchange between Sydney tower and a Qantas flight taxiing for takeoff just as the company gounds all flights. At Controller advises Qantas to contact company before continuing taxi ... about a minute later the Qantas requests a return to the terminal.

Also, in the first minute or two of the stream, QF5 heavy departs YSSY around 1702 AEST, about a minute *after* the grounding came into effect.

I was only joking... Thought it was an usually high pitched voice - even for a female controller. But maybe it's my local speakers..  :wink:

nice catch  :-)

I must admit... at the start... her voice was kinda high  :-D
Was kinda weired seeing the radar of Australia at QF headquaters and only seeing 1 maybe 2 a/c flying within the whole of the country
