Is there any special reason why runway 28 cannot be used? Just curious...

Thanks, looking through the Australian AIS, I can't seem to find charts for it, is there any specific place I should look? Thanks.

Your talk of terrain has made me more curious.

The reason you wont find it is its not a real airport.

Look for Brumlow Top on VNC-3 Newcastle
Its east of scone YSCO

Suonds all very mysterious Craig! I've a few questions

What's the significance of the area and the airport - is it a historical site or does it have special meaning to you?

Is it actually called "Brumow Top", is there a "Bottom" ?

What's the prize (or penalty) for using RW10?

:plane:

Its the highest point in my area, I've been camping up there a few times and its soo peaceful being away from everything, So i thought why not chuck some hotels up there. From the "Lump" you have 360* veiws of the whole area

Is it actually called "Brumow Top"

Yeah, Brumlow is the peak.

is there a "Bottom" ?

lol, yeah the ground

RWY10 is fine, RWY28 APP is a bit iffy due to the hill. Small props can do it, but its not advised.

Sweet Craig, thanks mate - I see the mountains are called 'tops', which is something us here in NZ aren't used to.

I hope the area isn't being threatened by the fires over your way

I meant rw28 rather than 10. :blink:

Funny you should mention fires, Barrington Tops normally has more then one fire through it during fire season.

Nah, no fires here in the area yet :blink:
