Building more turbulence at Canberra.
Thread Starter
Building more turbulence at Canberra.
I flew through CBR the other day and noticed a new fence running rather close to the western edge of runway 17/35, north of taxiway Delta.
Looks like they're clearing the land for more building developement, perhaps not even related to aviation.
Seems to me when those westerlies blow there will be severe mechanical turbulence along most of the runway now, not just at the 35 threshold.
I know airport owners are entitled to make money from the land they have invested in, however it is an airport and purchased as one. Surely any developement that has real potential to make aircraft difficult to control at 0-50 ft above the runway surface should be discouraged!

Ah that's alright then. Sorry I was so impulsive with the keyboard. (He says sheepishly.)

Master Plan... yeah right!
Don't be surprised if, one day soon, runway 12/30 is decommissioned. The surface is FLICKED and in any case the owner isn't interested in GA. Lotsa land there waiting to be used to make money.
Just noticed more building works at Moorabbin to the East of 17/35. There is already some "interesting" turbulence if a Southeasterly is blowing and you are still using 17L, I wonder if it will get worse?
