"GoKat 319, join upwind, you're number 4, follow a Basair C152 with an indian student who can barely speak english doing night circuits just turning downwind'

If the pax survive that, they can spend 1/2 an hour explaining to the taxi dispatcher they're at the Bankstown Airport Terminal, which is at the bottom of Airport Avenue, then wait an hour for the cabbie to rock up because he couldn't find Airport Avenue and just did the rounds of the perimeter road trying to work out what hangar number you were at.

There's ALOT to sort out at that joint before it can be a meaningful passenger port.


PS It's the A318 certified for steep approach profiles - not 319
