Gawler – Duty Runway Operations
Complex operation
• Gliding
• LSA
• Outside users
Gliding operations determine the Duty Runway
• ERSA - When gliding OPS in progress the Duty
Runway is the RWY in use by the Gliding
Operation
Gawler – Duty Runway Operations
The gliding Duty Instructor may opt to not use the
most into wind runway
•
The gliding Duty Instructor may prefer to use RWY
23 over RWY 13 even if there is a 5 knot SE wind
Potential for serious conflict - eg
•
•
•
•
Wind – light from the east
Glider operation using RWY 05 – left hand circuits
LSA opt use RWY 13 – right hand circuits
Conflict potential
•
•
•
In the air - downwind 05 / base 13
In the air - base 05 / downwind 13
On the ground – runway intersection
Gawler – Duty Runway Operations
It is not an acceptable practice to operate from other than
the Duty Runway unless
•
•
By prior agreement between Gliding and LSA instructors, eg
cross wind training
Landing on other than the Duty Runway is OK providing the
Duty Runway is not crossed on the landing roll
When landing on a non Duty Runway modify circuit
direction to comply with the directional flow of the Duty
Runway
•
If Duty Runway is 05 do a left hand circuit to land on 13
If a pilot has concerns with the Duty Runway
•
•
Talk to the gliding Duty Instructor
Don’t fly!

YGAW – Proposed CTAF Radio Frequency
• The Gliding Federation of Australia has requested
Gawler (and other airfields) to cease using
frequencies allocated to gliding as the aerodrome
CTAF frequency
• ASC has written to CASA requesting a CTAF
change from 122.5 to another frequency (not
126.7)
• Further advice will be provided once the change
is confirmed
