mkennard Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 It's the reason I chose to relocate my bird to another AD not far. The culture there is septic! Where did you relocate to? I occasionally pick up my brother from Canberra and was using Goulburn but that doesn't look like the go anymore.
BirdDog Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Where did you relocate to? I occasionally pick up my brother from Canberra and was using Goulburn but that doesn't look like the go anymore. Cootamundra. Such a nice AD too, and very well positioned to go pretty much anywhere.
Lindsay Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 I'm late to this discussion. I'm about to re-locate my Jodel D11 from YTEM to a paddock on the western boundary 04/22 after failed negotiations to install a gate. ☺️
facthunter Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 PLEASE can we here have a policy of NOT using aerodrome codes ? What's the point if most won't easily know where the place is that you are talking about. as many of them are not really intuitive.. Nev 7
Yenn Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Facthunter. You want to take away my ability to show how switched on I am. 1 1 3
Love to fly Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Umm so seriously. There is a landing fee, a taxi fee and a parking fee?? What value is the landing fee if it doesn't include access to the taxiway?
Jaba-who Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 At one stage Bankstown had a fee for pushing an aircraft out of the hangar and another to push it back in. they bundled those under “movement fee”. Normal people defined aircraft movements as being under their own power, taxying etc. but the owners considered any time the aircraft was moving, even being pushed through the door as a movement.
BirdDog Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Just read the remarks in the ERSA!! It's out of control! 1
Lindsay Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 That's one way to deal with competition BirdDog. I feel for the freehold property owners there.
BirdDog Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah man. I’ve had conversations with one of them and it’s a nightmare for him. Poor bugger.
facthunter Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 This BAD situation could have been predicted by anyone with half a brain who cared to think about it. I say again. Glad we are the CLEVER country otherwise we would be stuffed. Privatisation is death by a thousand cuts for occupiers of Aerodromes. Franchising works similarly. Nev
BirdDog Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Agreed Nev. You have to wonder.... If places lo like Cootamundra can do it, why Goulburn couldn't.
facthunter Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 The general view is that pursuit of allegedly quick profit is all that's motivating things, these days. Your worth is measured by how rich you are. You could end up being a grown up version of the Poor little RICH kid who can't enjoy playing in mud as he doesn't know you could. Nev 1
pylon500 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I hear a lot of smaller AD's are fitting cameras and doing their own collecting as Avdata take a pretty big lump of the money they collect. I hear rumours in the 70% range !
facthunter Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 If you put "easily" between can't and see , no you are not. It's small writing... (like the fine print on contracts). Nev
408059 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 On my computer they are images. Just click on them and expand. Of interest to me is the point being made from the images. I'm unsure as to what it is. Matty, would you care to elaborate please?
Matty Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Last Sunday afternoon was a glorious day to go flying at Goulburn but there was no one around. Normally I'd see a half dozen aircraft based at Goulburn airport flying. It could be coincidental but the sign/pole is a likely contributor. Next to the sign is a pole. On top of the pole is a camera to record the movements so the airport owner can charge aircraft owners using taxiway delta. The owner of the hangar I rent from did some measurements during the week. I'm not sure that it is much consolation but the claim is the sign/pole is illegal. The sign/pole are within 22 meters from the taxiway center line. I'm told that at a licenced airfield it should be 32 meters. I left on Sunday, after my flight, thinking about other airport options. Sorry folks. Pole location as described above appears to comply with aerodrome standards for taxiway clearances.
