YSBK Seaplane landing procedure?
Was just out riding the bike about 5:30 this arvo and happened to have the pleasure of witnessing a Caravan Amphibian or whatever you call em landing at Bankstown on 11C...
Now what interests me is why this plane flies the base leg right up to the runway threshold and just turns onto final really low right over the runway. Is there a specific reason that seaplanes don't establish themselves on a normal final at YSBK, or anywhere else for that matter?
No doubt it's standard procedure and all that, but it does look pretty spectacular from the ground...
