Some of you naysaying old-women are the most negative, miserable sods out.
So true A. Le Rhone. If folks would take the time to check things out, the Waterfront Air website clearly states that the take off area is behind the typhoon shelter next to Kai Tak, so no concerns about choppy water or marine traffic. Additionally, there are no tall buildings in the middle of the harbour where the existing VFR flight paths are! Choppers and GA A/C use these routes every day without concern. Lastly, just like the choppers, the fleet would be grounded during typhoons; thats what VMC is right? A bit of research and critical thinking can go a long way...
