A couple of questions about YRED signage
Hey,
Last time i was at YRED, while taxiing, I looked at a couple of yellow signs near the runway.
one said:
Last time i checked Hazard has one "z"... More CASA spelling errors?
and the other one says:
Is that saying that they want you to takeoff for a head on collision with a landing aircraft and vise versa? or is there something I'm missing?
Also, in an old ERSA i have... from 6/11/2001, it says the same, but in the current ERSA it says nothing of the sort.
Can anyone clear this up?

WARNING: BIRD HAZZARD EXISTS
and the other one says:
Takeoff rwy 07 preferred
Landing rwy 25 preferred
Landing rwy 25 preferred

of course common sense should prevail.
However, current AIP says that rwy 07 is preferred, shouldn't they remove the sign in that case?
I think that it is a bit of a safety hazard to have a sign like that and have 2 circuits, in reverse, happening..
It has nothing about landing on rwy 25 except that it wants right hand circuits.
and secondly, i think they should fix the bird HAZZARD sign because of grammar nazis like me

Pyro: The apostrophe is a solecism (and an exquisite irony) in: “Grammar-Nazi’s like me”. Also, the hyphen is unnecessary.
If a Grammar Nazi’s house is made of glass …
By the way, CASA does not paint and plant signs at airports.

The Redcliffe City Council (operators of the aerodrome) are responsible for the signage. Maybe after watching too much Dukes of Hazzard?
The neighbours at the western end of the runway are a bunch of
and the aerodrome was nearly shut down a number of years ago. A comprimise was the fly neighbourly advice you are reading.
Take-off on 07 where traffic allows. Land on 25 if there is no traffic.
Another thing is the ERSA says no straight in approaches, but there are a number of tools that seem to ignore this. No doubt it makes the neighbours even more happy.
Soon you guys will have development at the eastern end of the runway and no doubt a curfew. Rich people living on canals make a lot of noise.

If I am coming in from the west, how does overflying the final approach path to Rwy 07 at cruise power to join a left hand circuit cause less noise than flying a straight in approach - which would normally be flown at a reduced power setting?

Might also help if:
RAC teach students to fly a circuit that does not require an intermediate refuelling stop (pushing all aircraft following - as well as themselves - nowhere near gliding range of anywhere) and avoids the noise sensitive areas at the western approaches (the reason for the early right turn on dep 25)
and, A certain HELO trg school does not conduct mustering training adjacent to the private schools and residential areas on the western grassed area.
With the canal development at the Eastern side now reaching right up to the aerodrome boundary, pressure from newly arrived cashed up NIMBY's is only going to get worse. It is in all of our interests not to give them any more excuses than neccessary to whinge to our newly enlarged council and their newly increased entourage of aviation-ignorant councillors.

Left hand circuits Runway 07 / Right hand circuits Runway 25
Take Off Runway 07 except when operationally unacceptable
If the windsock is around to its 'usual' position indicating the classic SE tradewinds, or there is nil wind conditions, Rwy 07 must be used.
Some of the R/A guys love to continue to use Rwy25 even when the wind from the S/W has completely dropped off and conditions have shifted to nil wind. That clearly is in breach of noise abatement procedures.

I am aware of your first point, and your 2nd point, jbr76, HOWEVER, What is the point of having a sign saying "Landings rwy 25 preferred?"
Is that just for noise abatement?
It's kind of confusing.....
What's the point in using the signs if it's normal procedure to use 07 for takeoffs in nil winds/the 'normal' SE Winds, and 25 when the sock shows otherwise?
Makes the sign kind of redundant, in my opinion.
Is there something I'm not getting/am missing?

If the windsock is indicating a wind in favour of Rwy 25 (usually happens early in the mornings) You will be using Rwy 25.
If the windsock is around to its 'usual' position indicating the classic SE tradewinds, or there is nil wind conditions, Rwy 07 must be used.
