Admin Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 RAAus News The airstrip known as Parachilna in South Australia has been closed since July 2012, however details of the airstrip are still available in the latest edition of AOPA Airstrip Guide. RA-Aus would like to advise members to not use this airstrip and if they intend to operate in the area, contact the Prairie Hotel for details of an alternate airstrip suitable for use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarly Gnu Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm not quite sure why it still exists, pretty much just a pub, couple of ancient houses and a few old railway sheds. Doubt anyone at the pub would be to fussed where you landed for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaz3g Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Some info here http://www.flyingtheoutback.com.au/prairie-hotel-parachilna No airstrip, just a bit of flat dirt which puts the responsibility on the pilot, not the hotel owner. Wonder if Shelley's article had anything to do with the change in circumstance? Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanm Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What about the "Commodore Station" strip? It's about 10-15kms south of the hotel. Not a bad strip, I've landed a King Air in there. Or is that the strip that is now closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
