R4, you have to put up with whatever service we give you because our docs say that going into a capital city airport, GA aircraft are the absolute last priority. As a category 'G' flight, there is noone who you have priority over - everyone else has priority over you. Sorry if this offends, but just telling you why the service given to GA is sometimes woeful compared to the RPT types.
OK Brendan, pay attention here and I'll tell you how to get top priority for your arrival at YPPH.
First you'll need to ditch the Arrow and find yourself a PA24 Commanche.
Then, at the first sign of getting d*cked around by ATC going into YPPH you say,
"Perth Approach Commanche XXX, do you realise that I am on one engine here?"
That should lift you to the top of the priorities and get you straight in. By the time someone realises that you're flying a PA24 and not a PA30, it'll be too late.
Getting out again may be a whole other challenge - but hey, your Mum and Dad will make their flight - you can't have everything, can you?

I said you don't have to put up with sh!t service and prefixed that by saying that I never have. I do understand the priorities in place but if you expect them and work within the correct boundaries there shouldn't be a problem, Should there? Its not like we aren't allowed in at all!

Then there is the $500 fee for the ARFF Unit being activated!
IJ,
It was given in writing from Perth Airport to all operators when the vest policy was mandated. From my meetings with the man in question he is the type that will try to make the world bow down to him! If not he will take your ASIC!
