Just completed a year of training at YADG.That is one day a week,every week.I have never seen anyone treated disrespectfully who adheres to good airmanship.Adelaide Biplanes represent an enormous investment of time and experience in what they do,and I think they do it well.As for AVGAS prices,well no landing fees,so do the math.Food and coffee is outstanding,not just for an aerodrome,for anywhere.As for what the locals think,maybe some don't mind the odd Tiger Moth,Waco or Pilatus in exchange for the tourist dollars and jobs for quite a few young people that are a consequence.As for being a dodgy place to fly in to,seriously?All left hand circuits,no parachute operations.And a CASA report for a go round?I suspect there was more to this...
I have stumbled across this site and fail to understand the comments of some.
No one, but no one expects avgas for nothing. But to be charged more per litre than even Goolwa who I can assure you pay cartage to get the avgas to Goolwa and yet charge less than Aldinga who pay NO CARTAGE AT ALL.
To fly into Aldinga is risky as yes, there are 3 runways in operation at the same time which is totally uncalled for and unless one is familiar with the procedures, it is downright dangerous and totally uncalled for.
The guy from Tassie must have had a fist full of dollars as that is about the only thing that they worship. No money to spend with us, do not waste our time.
I can assure you that I have dealt with customers all my life and for the comments posted by some guy regarding the person who had a mechanical workshop all his life must now be employed by the helpful and nice lady.
Who in their right mind would wish to live near Aldinga aerodrome that now seems to be Basterdized by the sound of continuous buzzing of aircraft in all directions flying over the neighbors homes.
And then there is now a commercial operation operating large aircraft who I believe fly so low with no regard or consideration of the neiboring homes and properties.
Sorry, Aldinga is staffed by rude, arrogant, self opinionated, inconsiderate people who have a total disregard for Australians and are instigating some bad flying practice, and dangerous.
Nope, I stay away from Aldinga. There are friendlier places nearby who are friendlier and have visitors and aviators interests at heart without the aim of fleecing one.
Excellent facilities and PEOPLE - good to see more investment in new hangars and general aviation/RAA living side by side and prospering. Will keep visiting and oh the smell of real coffee at Biplanes cafe mmm . Wish this was closer for me to live next door!
Now tell the truth cause I dont believe anyone would "ping you to CASA" for performing a go around.
Was the correct "Go Around Technique" used?
or,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Was the "Go Around" performed all the way down the runway, the aircraft gaining twice its TOSS yet only gaining altitude by following the earths curvature until upon reaching the opposing threshold the aircraft suddenly develops an enormous amount of lift, so much lift that the pilots eyeballs are drawn from his body through his rectum thence punching a hole through the fuselage and enabling him to watch as the world dissapears beneath himself and his ego?
"only have ears for the sound of the cash register", "most expensive Avgas around", "don't spend money, not interested in you"
Well after owning a mechanical workshop for half of my life and developing quite an understanding of differing personalities, you sound like just the customer I would like to piss off right back to wherever you came from!
You are probably the sort of person that everybody owes something to, why should you pay to much for your Avgas? What is too much to pay for Avgas? Did you expect to get it for free or did you think that there is some sort of CO-OP that subsidises country airfields to account for people with pockets deeper than an Clydesdales Rectum?
As for the 3 runways in operation, well not sure what your aviation experience is but last time I read the POH for the aircraft I was about to fly I noticed that it had a differing max cross-wind tolerance than others I fly. OH does that mean that in certain conditions I would have to land on a different runway to others? Could a Rex Air SAAB land on one runway where a C152 would have to use another?
YOU BRAINBOX, I bet they were glad to see the back of you!!
