it is legal to fly above 8/8ths cloud if you have a visual position fix every 30 (i think) minutes, or if you are NVFR rated, every 120 mins....

Probably happens quite often - Heard a guy in a similar position not so long back. They were very good and most professional about it all. Same routine, took him out to sea (wonder whay they do that?!!!), asked him if anyone on board had instrument flying abilities, answer was 'no', then talked him down from about 4000'. Got him visual at about 1500 and asked him 'SY or BK?" He said BK, so I guess that's why no-one was any the wiser, except maybe CASA I guess.

Was that an SRA in this case? Did not know they could do them. If they can, it would be really sensible training for these situations.

from http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/cgi-...onautical+fees

I'd say $50 for the runway, $0.98/tonne for terrorism, and $60/day for parking.

Oh., plus GST of course.

Nah.. that's too cheap for Mascot, I must have missed something somewhere.

Forgot to add $21 for Airservices arrival.

Transition Layer:
little Johnny's scaremongering
I assume you speak of our Prime Minister. To what "scaremongering" do you refer?
