Engine Runnups at YPPH
Hi everyone,
First post here so please be nice. Not in the industry but a very interested observer and frequent SLF.
I live in Helena Valley which is about 7km from YPPH and have noticed over the last month or so regular engine runnups in the evening. After having been here for 7 years now this has never been heard before. The last occurrence was on Monday night on and off through until about 22:00. Is this a new practice or have the weather conditions previously not been conducive to sending the sound my way?
I am not complaining, just curious. My home is just offset from the RWY24 approach and I love to see/hear the variety of aircraft come in and I also lived for a few years opposite Port Moresby Jacksons where it was not that uncommon to have a F28 / Dash8 running up until after midnight!!
Cheers,
SteveWA

Hi SteveWA
Let me be the first one to reply to your first post since i am one of the nice guys on this forum. (shut up you two behind me!)
The reason for the excess aircraft noise(which we all love on this forum) would be because
#1 a new maintenance company has just moved in near the threshold of rnwy24 and it is the closest to do run ups.
#2 the wind has turned westerly because change of season, resulting all aircraft departing into wind as required.
#3 They all trying to piss you off but not realising you already love aircraft noise so they are trying harder.
Cheers, i hope you will be one of us one day!

It was only a suggestion. Besides i would not have noticed either because would have been too busy looking the other end of the runway to tuch down safely on this end (VFR of course)
