CAUTION - Model Aircraft Operations On RWY 07/25
The Capricorn Radio Control Aviators Club operate from the threshold of RWY 07. They are mostly active on weekend mornings. The club monitors the CTAF at all times when operating and is required to have all models on the ground when aircraft are in the circuit area. Visiting pilots of full sized aircraft are reminded to be vigilant and keep a good lookout for radio controlled aircraft. If you see vehicles and an orange windsock close to the threshold of the RWY 07, radio controlled aircraft operations are likely to be occurring.
Landing and Parking Fees
Landing fee – $15 (waived if refuelling)
Parking fee – $10 per aircraft per night
Fees are payable by cash or invoice only. An honesty box for fees is located on the western wall of the large open hangar or collected by on-site staff.
