This airfield is home to the Sydney Radio Control Society airfield, which I think is FANTASTIC; something I could do when I'm no longer flying recreationally!
I looks like the area would be a good landing site in an emergency! I'll fly over it one day and have a look.
Appears to be true, every example of a student from Bankstown I have encountered was terrifying. They were woefully inept, remarkably low IQ, and had barely a grasp of the English language. All of them were foreigners too. Makes me wonder if you guys have any Australians left down there. I'm sure that Karen's and Daren's virtue signalling on Facebook for social good boy points about how happy they are with the foreign food are having a field day though.
re: Where else to go and practice/learn how to fly???
Your English language skills are so poor it terrifies me that you're operating an aircraft in Australia. This is a shameful display of the low bar of the CAA these days.
Very cool base to visit and watch the incredible Westpac helicopters taking off and landing up close, you just have to time it well and hope that one will go coming or going when you get there. Easier said than done : )
Just noticed that the new Westpac Rescue Helicopter base at Aeropelican is not labeled on any map yet. Just letting everyone know this is where Westpac’s new ‘Belmont’ base is located. Westpac is going to be using the Broadmeadow facility as a heavy maintenance facility for all of the five AW139 aircraft.
I have flown this area a fair bit and I can confirm that there is no airport, airstrip, or helipad but rather just a site owned by Airservices Australia using it for meteorological studies and as a sub station. To confirm the comment ‘Looks Like an NDB to me!’, I believe it was used as an NDB for all local aircraft back in the 70s on approach to YSSY (Sydney Airport).
There is a single power line on the south edge of the pad. Although the line is highlighted with marker balls, landing and taking off from the pad may be difficult especially in a 412 or bigger as the rotor length may surpass the line. This is more of a day time only helipad ideal for smaller helicopters such as a squirrel or 407.
