As at 1240 hours on Sunday 2 December 2018, most aircraft seem to be using runway 25 in Sydney to land from the east or take off to the west over Sydenham raiilway station so if that continues, delays are likely this afternoon as the Sunday peak comes upon us.

ZL829 (1400 hours DBO across to SYD) was in the sky at 1448 with SAAB340B VH-ZRL. It should arrive at 1548, 48 late.

By 1735 on Sunday 2 December 2018, SYD had reverted to using the north south runways so that may mitigate delays. Too late, though, for anyone on cancelled flights.

ZL134 (1640 hours MYA up to SYD) has VH-EKX and was in the sky at 1803. Arrival should be at 1900 hours, 80 minutes tardy.

ZL767 (VH-ZXG, the 0755 hours morning SYD down to ABX) was in the sky at 0836 with suggested arrival at 0953, 33 late. As ZL768 returning is the 1045 hours, it should be on time.

Tuesday 4 December 2018 finds ZL316, the 0700 hours from SYD up to GFN (VH-ZLR) having taken off at 0754 hours, so arrival is estimates as 0908, 43 minutes tardy.

MEL doesn't seem particularly busy: is there a little low cloud similar to how AFF member JessicaTam was slightly delayed yesterday?

[Melburnian1]

ZL824, the Thursday 20 December 2018, 0815 hours SYD - DBO (VH-ZXQ) was airborne at 0926 so arrival will be at least 45 late.

ZL114 from MIM and MYA up to SYD is far worse with this 0630 hours ex MIM and 0715 hours ex MYA (SAAB340B VH-ZRC) arriving in SYD at 1032 instead of 0815 hours.

With continuing severe storms affecting SYD (and earlier the Canberra area), ZL674, the 1710 hours WGA up to SYD that took off at 1816 (VH-ZLA) overflew SYD at about 7000 feet at roughly 1924. This flight was due to arrive at 1820.

ZL833, the 20 December 1710 hours DBO across to SYD (VH-EKX) was in the sky at 1934 with arrival suggested as 2041, 141 late, but this seems optimistic as at 2019 the aircraft remained in a holding pattern northwest of Bargo, NSW.

[Melburnian1]

Due to a storm call passing over Sydney at about 1800 hours on Monday 31 December 2018, ZL377 on the short hop NTL - SYD 1700 hours that took off at 1726 has had an unusual approach to SYD. Arrival should be at 1818 hours, 33 late for VH-OLM.
