Do you have the current aerodrome chart for planning and reference?

Always consider alternate routes and potential hazards, regardless of how familiar you are with the aerodrome.

This episode explores the key things you should know when operating at controlled aerodromes - including runway safety, situational awareness and talking to air traffic control.

Runway safety is considered to be one of the highest priority areas for improvement in aviation safety by The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and Airservices.

This important topic reinforces why your flight does not finish until your aircraft is in the right spot and the engine is turned off.

This episode features stories and insights from Bianca Wise, senior flight instructor at Flight Training Adelaide, and Raj Prakash, Airservices tower controller at Brisbane Airport.
