If these are removed from Crookwell, having also serious flight time in the region, there will be increased:
- Costs;
- Time to response;
- Risks to pilots and aircraft
Remember, Crookwell is some 1000FT AGL above Goulburn and there are very limited other strips in the area for these RFS operations, which would meet a reasonable safety case.
Further, I believe the issues are:
- Has casa properly protected us from the wind turbines?;
- Do the wind turbines affect aviation?;
- What is the proper distance from an airport;
- What protection is being made for the future?;
- Is casa being consulted by approving organisations for proper effects on aviation?;
- Are the proposers using proper and correct information from aviation savvy people?;
- Has CAAct 9A been breached by casa in respect of approvals of wind turbine farms??
- How does the movement [without approval] by 385metres in the Crookwell area, affect the actual approval and aviation? and
- Was this confirmed [post final approval] OR
- Does the constructing company and the approving organisation breach CAAct 9A?
Only thinking.
