Well its too high for a 380 so...
So maybe its for the medium quad trainer

ROFLMAO!

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. :rolleyes:

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!

alphacentauri, your #26 assumptions/descriptions are spot on.

Bit touchy there, Divosh. I'm not trying to bag you, just trying to understand how an airport about to receive international heavies has such an apparently screwed-up PAPI system.

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.

Worth It ?
 

Okay guys, get your electronic note books out and see how much freight the 748 can carry out of Wellcamp to HK. Wx 220/15 , 25c , 1010, dry rw, Rw 9400' [ don't know how much avail ] elv 1520'amsl, .


For a one way load, it will wanna be good. Maybe their bringing in a million T-shirts ?

748F

Nil wind, 25C, 1010.

Runway 30 RTOW 409.9

Runway 12 RTOW 396.0

So 100T plus of load.

744ERF about the same load

Rumour has it tomorrow is first Cathay flight into Wellcamp...

Arr 1430
Dep 1645

Err, it's not a one way load. The aircraft is operating HKG - SYD and then SYD - WTB - HKG. I dare say it will take a full load down to SYD from HKG, a part load out of SYD, then top it up to the max possible weight out of WTB.

It's happening tomorrow afternoon.

Wellcamp a challenge for a large aircraft ????

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!

Not if any bureaucrats were involved.

Just think how different the Sydney basin would be now if BC had been built back in the 1990s.

Arrived on time, with a minimum of fuss as far as I can see. These pix taken about 15nm south as it passed through about 8,000'.

Seems said 747 managed to successfully negotiate the perils of Wellcamp, both inbound and out. Quite a mob turned up to welcome her.
