7. All helicopter training other than circuit training is prohibited at the airport (this includes autorotations, slope training, sling load training, and any activity within the airport boundaries including the centre grass area).
This letter gave less then one weeks notification of a major limitation of Heli training at the airport. This activity accounts for at lest 90% of the revenue that the airport earns. Robinson will quite happily admit the airport does not make a profit so what happens when 90% of what they do make disappears?
All this just to aviod losing their certification while ANZ make up their mind if they want to come in or not. The lost profit from the Heli activity will be worth more than a re-issue audit for the certificate. None of it makes any sense when you follow their actions through despite what they are saying. The old saying; "the picture doesn't fit the soundtrack" springs to mind.
The legal action that PAL had reported they were taking on CAA was canned too.
Perhaps im just completely over it and am seeing ghosts! or perhaps not....
