Folks,
The airspace planning for Sydney West is coming along fine, and is right up to AirnoService's usual standards.
The zone is being designed for aircraft that will never exist, doing a maneuver that will never happen there --- resulting in no IFR approaches for Bankstown or Camden, and severe restrictions on both.
By this I mean Cat E aircraft and circling!! There is no such thing as a Cat E civil aircraft, and never will be!!
And I see no mention of noise impact of circling in the EIS.
If they designed the zone just for "straight-in" approaches, there would be little impact on Bankstown or Camden and that wouldn't be fair would it, as all new developments have to shaft GA one way or another, that's the policy.
Tootle pip!!
