Rottnest island from the sky

[AJ85WA]

Here is some pictures of the weekends flying over perth city and then over to Rottnest island for a day trip! It is such a nice route to fly and is well worth it

 

ENJOY!

So did you land at Rottnest and spend the day there? Can Ra pilots do that? (Assuming you are in 152!!)

 

My Fiances mum lives in Perth, might be something I should be doing next time I am there!

Hi Drizzt

 

Yer i did, it was an awsume day!! Rottnest Island is in Class G airspace and is approx 15min flight over ocean, it also has its own CTAF freq so im not 100% sure on what the RA licence is restricted to, but when i landed there was a Cessna 152 parked in the apron if that helps.

 

Although if you decide on going there be prepared for some wicked crosswinds. The runways are east to west and all of perths winds are north to south and yer expect crosswinds 12knots on a good day. :)

Your Trip

 

It looks like the trip was fun..

 

That is something I would like to do soon when I get the PPL... but also fly up to Alkimos or 2 Rocks and then back down the coast..

 

It gives a whole new perspective of the country and locations we live in.

 

Well done...:thumb_up:

Took a skyfox (tail dragger) over to rotto in the early 90s when I lived in Perth and yes it was all crosswind.. great day out and walked around the island, had a swim, lunch and then flew home..:thumb_up:
