Perhaps the Virgin, Jetstar, Flying Doc, charter and night freight people that operate into YMLT after the tower is shut should call the aerodrome safety officer up and get him to activate the lights for your arrival, likewise for your departure and also get him to do a runway inspection prior to your arrival and departure after all it is up to us as pilots to cover all bases and our arses and that way their can be no arguments in relation to the lights being on.
Would fellow Ppruners agree?
