Guess where?

Never sure with you if you’re talking about real life or for pretend :joy:

Oh no! I’m currently flying YPAD to YPDN in my A320 and the office gave me YPTN as my alternate. I’ll program in one of your suggested alternatives and have a stern word with the office afterwards.

I hope this STOL airfield is worth the trip it’s a 4 hour flight from Adelaide to Darwin.

Added to that, Kununurra, Gove and Groote Eyelandt all have 30 metre runways. Australia has a weird rule not found anywhere else, that aircraft above 50,000kg are not permitted to operate on 30m runways! So I’m not sure what Network, Qantas, Jetstar or Virgin use when they come up to Darwin. Not many options around.

Now here’s a funny one: The E190 has a max takeoff weight of 51,800kg. CASA has approved us to operate on 30m runways but we have to limit our max takeoff weight to 50T if we are to use them :man_facepalming: This used to require us to have an engineer to amend the techlog each time lol. Now the techlog has a section where we can circle which weight we will operate to for that sector.

Regarding the model aeroplane field, yeah it’s challenging enough. Surrounded by trees, and the surface is anything but smooth in the sim. I recommend large tyres!

I think we’re all still having fun over at East Point Aeromodellers Club :laughing:

Which apart from some dodgy photogrammetry, looks just like real life.

Sorry for keeping you waiting this long. My update turned out a little bumpier than usual.
As a compensation I picked something easy (I hope) :slight_smile:
