Essendon Airport Noise Management Working Group
Good Grief..4%??? Two PVT jet flights DURING curfew didn't submit a flight plan prior to taxi and the world comes crashing down....
These dills want to eliminate 17/35 outright! Just wait for the first screaming southerly or a summer northerly and watch the fun. How about a displaced threshold reducing 17/15 to just over 1000m.
HAs anyone on this committee thought of the consequences of building a facility for our emergency services at the furthest position from the ONLY active runway...taxi time 5 minutes? ten minutes? whats that, maybe 40nm down track lost?
EDIT- The minister vetoed the runway shortening and closure recommendations.
