Should light aircaft (GA) keep out of the circuit whilst RPT jets are known to be arriving & departing the aerodrome (LST) ?
Nope, would have to be a very busy jet RPT traffic to warrant that!

Are we talking about YBLT here? Hard to imagine there are that many RPT movements. At places like Mt Isa, RPT seems to fit in with GA with very few problems - just takes a bit of discipline, common sense and courtesy!

Also today we noticed that when RPT aircraft were arriving they were activating the runway lights by mistake
I suspect they were probably turning the lights on to get PAPI/VASI for their approach.
