A fairly cheap fix for August winds....
During 25 ops its a ghost town south of General Holmes Drive
Actually I'd reckon you could land a Q400 or SAAB on Bravo10 or Lima if you needed the extra length !!
Too often during 25 ops the runway gets congested with regionals who need the same spacing as jets
Turboprops need way less runway occupancy than say a 737, just that the SID/STAR system is set up for follow the leader, meaning faster traffic stuck behind slower traffic are blocked. At least off the main runways at Sydney they have early turns to allow TPs to get out of the way of jets and free up space, which means the TPs can get airborne turn off runway track and let a jet depart very close behind.
