QF plane passes very low over Melbourne CBD this morning

[smit0847]

Just saw what looked like a QF A380 passing very, very low over the Melbourne CBD. Never seen one pass that low - honestly looked like it nearly clipped the top of Rialto.

Assuming there was no promotional purpose, was there any reason for this?

Maybe the pilot wanted to check an investment property in the CBD :mrgreen:

At 3000 ft not that low:

Saw the same thing the day before I took the A380. It flies down over east melbourne to the SW Impressive. Maybe looks closer as so big.

Considering the Eureka building is 1000 ft, is this not low?

No, its 1000 feet vertical in most cases with another object.

Pretty regular occurrence when Rwy 34 in use and QFA94 is coming in.

And a with very clear morning in Melbourne today - would have made for fantastic viewing of (and from) the aircraft.

A380 just went past again this morning - had a great view of it over docklands driving down La Trobe St.

wow that is scary, especially after all the stuff with Tiger in the news last year

Totally different though is it not?

why is it scary? Aircraft flies over city with a vertical separation twice the required minimum?
