Ovation
Forget the 225 unless you feel your safety was seriously compromised.
There is no value in getting up a head of steam over this sort of thing. It is just a fact of life in places like YLRE. Has been that way for the 30 years that I have been flying into there.
Dodging the b*ggers is all part of aviation in the bush - adds to the satisfaction of having survived another journey.
At YBMA the other day, FTDK on a 5 nm final Rwy 16.
Me: Isa traffic, XXX is on a 5 mile final runway 16, Isa.
Cow Cocky in his 172 at a mid-Rwy holding point: Ah, XXX is it OK for me to just duck off on Rwy 34 ahead of you.
Me: YYY, negative hold your position.
I chatted him while taxying in about wanting to take off in the opposite direction to me while I was on finals. He said he thought I was on finals for 34 (maybe he should have looked out the window - I had the landing lights on!).
I have no doubt that his intention was to take off towards me and do a split-arse turn off the deck!
