I hope all them electric coal trains do not do nasty things to the signals
I will have to go up there and try it out, especially now the new rules mean I have to keep my CIR current despite having a PIFR to back me up.

How'd the Gladstone ILS fair today given it's the first day of really bad weather since it was commissioned. Does the amended DA of 560' make it any use? The RNAV was close to that anyway...
DA was amended to match LOC minima at CASA direction, at the last minute.
CASA have some issues with the runway and are currently claiming that it does not comply to support a precision approach.

"Casa have some issues" you can say that again
Either the runway complies or it doesn't
So who hasn't done their homework

And the PAPI doesn't match up for a few more days
Meagle, you are preaching to the converted.
When the project began they were advised they were compliant. An inspection of the current Mos139 and Mos173 supports this. Turns out CASA are now questioning the contents of their own MOS's and at the end of project have declared that the goalposts have changed.

Sorry about starting a new thread on this (locked). I haven't checked in for a while and wasn't up to speed with the current state of play.
Just wanted to see how the ILS was going as the ceilings have been down to a couple of hundred feet with ground vis to probably 100metres at times.
There's talk around the length of rwy 10 being reduced to about 1600m due to the new CASA (ICAO) Runway width requirements due to the culvert under the runway at the 28 thresholder end. That takes it back to the length prior to the $65m upgrade. Great Mate !!!!!
