Folks,
I am puzzled, where in Australia do I find these "busy" GA airfields where a glide approach would upset traffic flow --- what traffic flow??
Certainly not at YSBK, rarely as YSCN, and not at any airfield with a significant GA component, on the east coast, that I have seen in recent years.
Just a little while ago, driving around the perimeter road at said YSBK, not a single aircraft on the air, I could see a couple of rotating beacons on the ground, although I must admit, last Tuesday I saw three aircraft airborne all at once in the circuit. .
"Back in the day", at (then) ASBK, when twelve or more at one time in the circuit was NOT grounds for comment, glide approaches were no big deal, even when you were four or more abreast on 05/23 grass and runway.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Why did the seatwarmers in Canberra ever agree to Australia giving away A----- for Y??? We don't live in Yustralia?? A bit like regos, North America would never give away N, likewise Great Britain G, France F, Germany D, Italy I, Canada C??
