Yes, MEHT 75ft. Big 'plane setting.
Tullamarine has the same setting but not the same issue. At Wellcamp RWY30 in Day VMC once established on final you can EITHER fly the PAPI OR you can fly to the aimpoint markings. You cannot do both.
Don't get me wrong, it's not all that difficult. But it's not as straight forward as some on here are making out.
But typical of Prune: People who're actually flying into and out of an airport giving tips to a new operator are being bagged by people who've never flown into the place before.
DIVOSH!

I probably didn't make myself clear in my post. My comment
wasn't an implication that the Glider guys are anything other than professional in the conduct of their activity. I meant that in the dozen or so times I've been in and out of Wellcamp there was no glider activity.
DIVOSH!

At Qlink we're required to broadcast on the glider frequency but in all my times in and out of there I never even got a response.

The start of the big white squares (not the little ones beforehand) should be at 400m. The PAPIs should be about 436m/1429ft in from the threshold in this case. Please confirm.
Please also describe what your [company's] "touchdown zone" is.

Giday- 'How's it Drifting/Dangling' & All-
'That' is about, what I am hearing from a bloody long way away............., for what that maybe not worth.
The out bit, 'rumour' would have it..............., as- Veg and Beef.
We probably should leave- Protein, and I guess the recent DRW Port Sale (Yes Malcolm- 'Apparently', Adam did do a Deal on the Whole Show for 99 years.../ who knew!!!!!).
Oh- and 'Maybe'......, S.A. Kidman (pending why the Meal Ticket Holders stuttered????- Woomera, really!!!)/last tranch of the Ord/Wollogorang...., etc- to the Free Trade Professionals/Elected Meal Voucher Holders .............

For me I find it pretty exciting that Wagners continue to put it together
18 months ago we were all arguing that they they couldn't even build a airport Now we are hacking on about the WW Papi and runway alignment. In 24 hours a 74 will have been and gone! Is there anything else in Aus that can match this achievement!

Just think how different the Sydney basin would be now if BC had been built back in the 1990s.
Seems said 747 managed to successfully negotiate the perils of Wellcamp, both inbound and out. Quite a mob turned up to welcome her.
