Procedures at Tindal and Alice Springs
Morning all,
I am but a humble day VFR pilot who tends to keep well away from controlled airspace. However, on a trip to Darwin recently had to run the gammut of the ATC.
Without going into a long explanation, I incurred the mild wrath of an airforce ATC
person.
On my return, I was explaining the incident to a retired QANTAS person, whose explanation was that for reasons unknown, both Tindal and YBAS are different in that they regard a right hand circuit as being where the AIRCRAFT is on the RIGHT side of the active runway. I was always taught that a right hand circuit is where the RUNWAY is on the RIGHT side of the airc raft, and the pilot does right turns.
Is anyone from that area able to confirm this??
Thanks,
Mick
