Aussie Bob:
Like how much? All the traffic in Australia? We have traffic here? Serious? Some of you blokes need a trip to a busy country. Australia has no traffic and a declining aviation industry.
On one breath you blokes tell me Australia's aviation industry is in decline, then on the next breath you tell me we should shut down an aviation business that is successful just because they operate where a few other aircraft fly. Drop zones are tiny and easy to avoid. Whats wrong with you guys?
You obviously are not familiar with Melbourne or YMMB. The drop zone is approximately Ten miles Northwest of the field slap bang in the middle of the CASA approved and
recommended VFR coastal route to the North and West of the state.
The drop zone is approximately Two miles North of the prescribed VFR entry reporting point Brighton (BTO) for aircraft arriving from the North and West.
The drop zone is approximately One mile South of Albert Park VFR reporting point for aircraft inbound into Essendon airspace and frequently one will get "clearance unavailable remain OCTA until it is which requires an orbit to be made right through the drop zone.
The drop zone is about Two miles South East of the Station Pier VFR waypoint which is a prescribed VFR entry/exit point from Essendon controlled airspace.
To put it another way, you might as well put a drop zone in Martin Place, Rundle Mall or Fortitude Valley to get the same effect.
