You guys have NO problems.....should come and watch the carry-ons at a little airfield 60nm south of Sydney.
Pairs takeoff...one behind the other...about 30' separation.
Straight-in approaches (regularly) with apposing traffic (regularly).
Jump buddies leg fell off (prosthetic) at 10000'....no report submitted.
Regularly take the troops aloft through 8/8th...aircraft damned lucky if it is NVFR let alone IFR (which it isn't).
Regularly fly until after dark....no airfield lighting.
Chutes dropped with an IFR aircraft established on the ILS which directly overflys the DZ.
Witnessed a pairs beat-up three weeks ago which was conducted with bother aircraft flat knacker, in formation (30' apart) at no more than 50' AGL.....now these are a couple of SMART cookies.
Continual complaints about noise and there generally unsafe operations has caused the local community to form an ACTION GROUP to shut them down PERMANENTLY despite the operator being the owner of the airfield and aircraft.
No amount of complaints to either CASA or the ATSB (over 30 complaints, all justified,) in the past 12 motnhs has caused one hickup in this operation......not because there is insufficient interest but because one aircraft owner/operator in the group is the son of a well-placed big-wig in the APF
You guys reckon you got problems?
