This episode features a discussion with Peter Gibson, the manager of corporate communications at CASA. He’s joined us to explain the airspace changes that will come into effect on June 3rd, changes which will impact Class D, see the transition of GAAP to Class D and introduce the mandatory carriage of radios at all certified, registered or military non-towered aerodromes (plus any others as designated in the ERSA).
We also talk to Owen Zupp just before he departed on his There and Back trip around Australia as well as Tim Pryse and Ken Evers a few days prior to the start of their Millions Against Malaria trip around the world. We feature another “View from the Lounge” and introduce ATC_Ben‘s new “Controllers Corner” segment.
As we wind up the show, we discuss the Australian Capital Territory funding yet another feasibility study for a much needed secondary airport near Canberra. You can read more about it in an news entry from Australian Aviation and also follow up progress through the Canberra Region Aviators Association web site.
If you want to see a 737-200 land at Jandakot (Perth’s secondary airport), check out the video of the landing that Ed Stubbs pointed us at. Not bad.
Just in time to make our cut off for this episode, we had a quick chat with Owen as he was half way around his trip. A great update on his progress and how things have been going.

Steve’s out sick (he must have eaten the fish :) so Grant’s flying solo on this one and cheating madly by assembling a few interviews and a slightly modified version of the Australia Desk segment we recorded for the Airplane Geeks’ Thanksgiving episode. The interviews include:
- Matt Hall & Nigel Lamb
- Carlo Santoro from Flight Experience Melbourne
- Nick Brau on flying hot air balloons over Melbourne city
The news items we covered include:
- British Airways again discussing a merger with QANTAS
- The US FAA wil be conducting an Air Safety examination of Australia’s air operations
- 30th Anniversary of Air New Zealand’s DC10 crashing on the side of Mt Erebus in Antarctica
- Virgin Blue likely to have a profit in FY09/10
- QANTAS to purchase additional aircraft and will be assigning more of their 787s to Jetstar
- QANTAS introduces the airport of the future concept
- Airport capacity in Sydney and the need for a second airport
- Australian Transport Safety Bureau provides interim reports on the QANTAS A330 ADIRU issues and QANTAS 747 oxygen bottle incidents
- RAAF to purchase 14 F35 fighters even though Lockheed has admitted the project is running late
- The first two Wedgetail AEW aircraft have been delivered
- Last flight of the Caribou in Australia & it’s potential replacement
We hope you enjoy the show and we will return to our usual levels of interviews, discussions & opinionated news reviews in a week or so.

We thought we’d have this episode out within a few days of our previous one, but there was so many news items to review, so much to discuss and so many bits to splice together that it took a whole week to bring it to you. Weighing in at almost 2 hours, this episode has interviews, GA, follow ups and much much more.
