Engine Runnups at YPPH
Hi everyone,
First post here so please be nice. Not in the industry but a very interested observer and frequent SLF.
I live in Helena Valley which is about 7km from YPPH and have noticed over the last month or so regular engine runnups in the evening. After having been here for 7 years now this has never been heard before. The last occurrence was on Monday night on and off through until about 22:00. Is this a new practice or have the weather conditions previously not been conducive to sending the sound my way?
I am not complaining, just curious. My home is just offset from the RWY24 approach and I love to see/hear the variety of aircraft come in and I also lived for a few years opposite Port Moresby Jacksons where it was not that uncommon to have a F28 / Dash8 running up until after midnight!!
Cheers,
SteveWA
