Look at VARA with all of the new toysRestricted to 120mins at normal cruising speed (450kts true airspeed) or 400nm whichever is less.
In this case it’s a 400nm restriction from land which may not necessarily be an airport. So crossings over the bight at even our most southern route is ok to cross.
My understanding is that some of the MAXs are going to VARA without life rafts to save on weight (176kg). Seems crazy that they then can’t deploy them on international routes out of Perth on the weekend.
