Is YMMB Useable By RAA Aircraft?

[walrus]

Looking at the YMMB ERSA  entry and Moorabbin Airport website, it appears that outside tower hours the area is covered by class G airspace. Is there anything that would stop an RAA aircraft from using the airport out of tower hours? I may have a passenger to drop off. Has anyone done this ?

Recreational Aircraft need PPR, so you may as well call them and ask.

Going to have to be on the ground before 8:00am though, or after 19:00 on weekends.

Or have a GA licence.

Talk about customer service.......NOT.  Tried to call them three times and all I get is a voicemail divert. I tried calling the ARO who won't tell me anything, he just refers me to the office.

 

Could i be forgiven for thinking that operators are doing everything possible to drive customers away?

Check the YMMB website for charges. Last time I looked there was a $560 (i think) parking charge for non-VH registered aircraft.

Yes, I get the message they are sending. They don't want RAA aircraft at all.

That is the consequence of some people using airports without paying. If you can talk to the General Manager Aviation my guess is that he'd be OK and nil fees.

Thanks DJP, I'll keep trying then.
