.. ah .. your conservatism explains my query ... just two comments .. minor and of no real account but may be of interest to others ?

The quoted airfield Elevation is for the highest point on the runway.. this will depend on the local definition but commonly the ARP need not have an elevation located on a runway ?

i.e. the Field Limit and the Obstacle Limit are equal
.. need that be so ? In general, I would have thought not . .. ie one will usually be more limiting than the other ? noting that, in general, one can probably force them to be equal ..

P_T .. last I spoke with him, Peter was intending to retire to QLD. Fine chap by any standards .. I do hope that his retirement is bringing him the rewards he so richly deserved.

G_S .. the Alzheimers is in full swing today, I'm afraid .. the only GS I can bring to mind was with CASA and not a performance man .. perhaps you can PM me to jog the memory ?

J_T .. dreadful fellow ....

Two other fine chaps from the other hangar .. JW and RG (oh, go on .. we can include FO, RF .. oh dear .. but the memory cells are letting me down tonight .. can picture the faces but the names elude me) .. did you have much to do with any of them .. ?

I have to acknowledge a big learning debt to Peter, John, and Roger .. did you know that Peter originally worked for the other mob as a lad and then jumped ship .. ? .. or was it John worked with Peter and then jumped ship ? .. whichever ..
