Essendon RWY Strip Width discrepancy
No probs. Most of this Surface and OLS stuff harks back to the performance eras of DC-3's etc. I think also that 60m is used rather than 75 (where the gables are) because Australia once used 120m wide Runway strips in the dim dark past, rather than 150, so most taxiways and holding points were designed that way, then we standardised to 150, and it was impractical/impossible to physically comply.
Good on you AFAP ! Highlighting a safety issue 3 years after the event with full knowledge that it has absolutely no bearing on safety what so ever!
Sharp edge of the wedge there boys!
Ever thought about asking the operator if they had the appropriate exemption.....
Before anyone says anything about the King Air V DFO..... by their own documents AFAP acknowledges its not an issue.
Im so glad my AFAP membership dues are being used in this manner it makes me feel so well regarded.
Seriously, which muppet in the the executive thought this was an appropriate allocation of resources.
Once again the AFAP is showing how it is becoming less and less relevant and in touch with its members.
