I wonder if they are the same 'who' that reported the alleged QF incident- which we'll never know as the QF report was a CAIR. Do they have an axe to grind about aircraft operations in the evening at Launy.


Keg,

That's a fair question. And maybe someone did put in a CAIR. I met a local pilot who claims to have seen the event and claims to have reported it. He didn't sound to me like he had an axe to grind. Perhaps he just thought he had a duty to report what he thinks he saw.

Does Launie have a problem with the lights? I suppose someone will check them out. Launceston had a pretty dodgy mixed airspace system without radar for a while there when the new airspace system (MK iv ??) started. Someone woke up to the safety implications, changed the airspace and got a radar happening to boot. Problem solved. I guess they saw the light
