Part 91/121/135 in WA is not that arduous
- perhaps the VHF/HF comms are frustratingly congested at times.
- most flights Tanker return fuel or close to it with MLW.
- Weather is generally benign and predictable with a look at the days MSLP Analysis.
- ADS B is glorious compared to the procedural past.
- Lots of Network alternate options in the 2000m range with FUEL, Lighting and stairs.
To label WA flying the wild west or 3rd world is a stretch.
WOW , ADSB. The hieight of sophistication!
Cyclones are not “benign weather” And it does take much when forecasting and facilities are rubbish.
Not a CAT 1 approach between Perth and Darwin. LOL
Where else have you operated ?
Europe? USA?
Trust me WA is rubbish.
30 years ago low population and low frequency of operations were used by the Bureaucrats to justify low expenditure on exotic stuff like Control Towers and Nav. Aids and radar etc. Thanks Dick! We are way past that now with frequency of Jet traffic into Mining sites etc.Shouldn’t happen in a First World country.
Its rubbish!
