Canungra

Hi Steve,

Still got the molds?

Guys, this is no laughing matter. I drove to the field last weekend and the only thing about Canungra "International" Airfield is that it is elusive in every way. Not only are the co-ords inaccurate and the east co-ord sports a "1" before the 127, someone needs to do a map view of the field with runways drawn in, taxiways, parking areas, runway directions. The runways are not accurately marked and I saw no windsock or runway markers. It is hilly terrain and short, ultralighters dream, inexperienced pilots nightmare.

Which are obviously wrong(should be 27 south not 127).....

Hello fellow aviators!

Yes many of the comments are true the Canungra International Airport was an elusive and exclusive airfield hence our invitation!

The reference to the CTAF/Unicom is true unfortunately we inherited 123.45 MHz as the local chat freq and in time we intend to change this. Please be patient with us as this is our first flyin and is totally not for profit with all proceeds going to the Beyond Blue Charity. All organised by Flightscope's instructors, ie two people to do everything! Our website had the Facebook link which included the attached diagrams!

Some of the pilots have expressed concerns about flying to the CIA, remember it is an ALA and If you think it is beyond you to safely operate from our airfield I have attached detailed road maps! Hope this helps..

[/rant-on]According to Aeroclub there is an inaugural fly-in at Canungra "International" Airfield on 29/11/2015. I wouldn't mind attending, however, getting location and airfield information has proved almost more difficult than it's worth. The notice of the event refers you to www.flightscopeaviation.com.au for more information. Ha! Like that helped! Some obscure text then refers you to a facebook page. Ok, so now I have a physical address and off to Google Maps I go...

Well that proved pointless with no strip at that address.

 

Come on guys, if you would like folks to attend at least provide co-ordinates, maybe add some approach information. I just can't be arsed anymore.
