A group of us are flying "up north" this winter and high on our "wish list" is Broome.

 

And as we all know Broome is a CTA. Does any one out there have any suggestions as to landing areas close to Broome that are RAA friendly.

 

Thanks in advance !

When did that change? Broome's always been CTAF as far as I know... When you get there you'll see why it doesn't quite need to be CTA... http://www.airport-data.com/world-airports/YBRM-BME/

 

If you want somewhere else the local cattle stations are visitor friendly if you phone ahead.

Yup, it's changed, must be getting enough asian flights to justify it at last. WA is UTC plus 7 IIRC so that's 06:15 to 18:15 local. Here's the link to the next issue of ERSA starting Mar 7th - http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/pending/ersa/FAC_YBRM_7-Mar-2013.pdf

 

I'd guess it's likely that TWR wouldn't operate those hours very often unless Broome has changed heaps since I lived there, so I'd give them a call and see what the actual ops are like. Otherwise you'll have to get in and out early or late in the day.

 

Don't forget to plan a trip up to Cape Leveque while you're up there, nice place.

WA is UTC +8. Broome Tower usually on from 0700 local each day until dark or after.

Derby is CTAF and would probably be the next best option.

VFR, Is this for the QRAA tour? Or is this a seperate tour to theirs??
