"Urgent" question.

[flying dog]

I shall try to remember to call Bankstown airport tomorrow and ask, but......

 

Before these new rules I was told that on Chrissy day, Bankstown tower closes - it is THE ONLY day a year it is closed.

 

Consequently you COULD fly into and land at Bankstown, so long as you left that day.

 

The airspace became non-controlled. CTAF-R I think it was it would be.

 

So, I am wanting to know if it will still happen this year, or what rules apply?

 

I would like to fly there and have a bit of a fly around the "airspace" for that one day.

 

Anyone know?

Dog, there is no such thing as a CTAF R.

Ok, I got the name/term wrong.

 

But from what I read, I CAN go flying in their usual airspace suffice to do a circuit or two, and fly around some parts of their airspace which I usually can't get to.

 

I just hope Mr Weather is kind to me on Saturday.
