Thanks for that DFC.

I now see that the latest online ERSA has got BME with a 90m light spacing. That puts me to shame, because I had picked up my [older] paper ERSA and it wasn’t there for the aerodromes I checked. Guess that’ll teach me about not using the latest . . .

Look, on this light spacing thing, I’m not trying to enter into a pissing contest with you about which document does what. The fact is I’m still not sure where the light spacing can be found for certain.

The latest Broome ERSA shows it (and I am told that the airport manager doesn’t spend his evenings at the footy club). But now when I used the online ERSA and checked the latest (June) Bundaberg (because that airport was mentioned earlier) it doesn't show it, nor do some of the other WA RPT airports show light spacing such as Kalgoorlie (apart from the short 18/36 runway) http://www.airservices.gov.au/public...-June-2005.pdf), nor does Newman (http://www.airservices.gov.au/public...-June-2005.pdf), nor does Port Hedland (http://www.airservices.gov.au/public...-June-2005.pdf) The March ERSA’s don’t show it either, such as http://www.airservices.gov.au/public...7-Mar-2005.pdf).

It’s nice to have the time now to chase the references and debate what shows what, or doesn’t. But we’re on post number 16 now and 13 days since the question was first raised, and there is still uncertainty about where light spacing can be found for certain. Bit tough if someone needs this information in a hurry.
