Rockhampton Navigaton

Just been looking at the jumble of control steps around Rockhampton (YBRK) - would like to correspond with a local pilot,  as to best way to get to Hedlow (YHEW) when inbound from the south of YBRK???

 

😈

Can it be true that there are no recreational/private pilots in the Rocky area????😈

Maybe they'd rather keep Quiet than be shot down?   Nev

Looking at google maps terrain and the airspace chart for a few minutes, this is how I would do it. Old Station- Koorana croc farm - Hedlow. All OCTA.

Thanks Thruster - That's almost as I have ben advised, by the CFI at Hedlow.

 

His advise is to go to Cale Keppel and then to the Koorana Crocodile Farm .

 

Tried to make contact with Rockhampton Aero Club (still listed) but apparently went "belly up" a few years ago😈

I'd guess when overflying a crocodile farm, you pray twice as hard, for the engine to keep running? 😄

I'll keep that in mine when down that way next in a few weeks time, usually over fly Milliorn.  Its a very scenic fly through area.

I generally use Emu Park when in that area, but if traveling north from there I track not far from Hedlow. Have used Hedlow but found it quite expensive.
