Jandakot Airport is likely to have traffic movements restricted by the introduction of new control procedures. The new procedures will restrict the active movements in the circuit traffic to 6 aircraft per controller including departing and arriving traffic, resulting in a direct hit to the hip pocket of Jandakot users while they wait for ATC clearance.
The following is an extract from the new procedures
Effective from 0001 AEST 21 July 2009, the directions require:
• An immediate limitation on the number of aeroplanes in the circuit for one runway, controlled by one Air Traffic Controller, to six. If two runways and two controllers are available then the total number of aeroplanes in the circuit is limited to 12. An additional departure may be permitted at the discretion of the controller having given due consideration to all relevant safety factors.
• An immediate requirement for all aircraft to obtain an Air Traffic Control clearance to enter, cross or taxi along any runway.
• The provision (within 9 months) of aerodrome ATS daily for the hours of daylight without any reduction in the service currently provided during the hours of darkness.
Bunbury Flying School will welcome any student or private hire pilots to Bunbury which enjoys unrestricted movement, day and night.
The cost of flying at BFS is less painful than at other areas and there are no additional costs. All you pay for is the flight hours.
