General Info

Non-towered. Radio calls "Myrup Traffic" on 126.7 Mhz. Runways are 04/22 and 14/32. 04 is a right hand circuit, all the others are left hand. Look out for kangaroos on the runways when arriving around dusk.

Correct IATA code?

Wikipedia seems to think that SXE belongs to the RAAF base at East Sale while the OurAirports DB has SXE associated with both (shouldn't this be a unique key?).

re: wyalkatchem airport

If you have complaints about an airport, could you provide details to help other visitors (and the airport owners, if they want to improve)? For example, did you think the fees were too high, the gas too expensive, the service too slow, facilities not well-maintained?

Aldinga Airport

I flew into Aldinga today, took a friend for a scenic flight along the coast and dropped in for lunch. I have always found the people to be extremely helpful and friendly. After our lunch we went back to the aircraft only to find it wouldnt start. The people at the airfield could not do enough to help us, finding me a new starter motor and a LAME to install. I cant talk more highly of them. :)

is it the school?

The school have been dobbed in for flying low circuits, touch and go's and general noise! Have only ever seen l/h circuits. Plus there are no local places to stay/taxi service so while she may have seemed unhelpful she was probably just breaking bad news. Was the fly in organised by adl biplanes or the aeroclub? As they say in thailand same same but different!

Re: Not an airport

The marker has been moved to the proposed location for this airport. The 2004 Operational Feasibility Assessment Report can be accessed here: http://members.pcug.org.au/~mikec/srcg/docs/airfield.pdf

Not an airport

This airport marker is centred on Mount Gibralter at Williamsdale which is the first line-up marker for Canberra airport approach.

Old Flyer

My names Peter, I flew regularly with Group Air Flying School from Casey Field Berwick from 1975 until 1993 just before the airfield closed.

I visited Tyabb and other local flying groups socially as was the normal thing throughout my flying time.. I got married, and run off my feet with work and other commitments that flying had to go into the back ground for a while.

I was wondering if there are any other persons who used to be with Group Air are still about and where

Picture of

YADG

Went to a fly in with a friend with a keen interest in joining the flying school, they were very rude and arrogant, We paid for a bbq lunch which was 1 snag each and were promptly sent home!There seemed to be some nice people there, but were too busy gossiping. My friend was quite irate at the way we had been treated and will not return. Looking for Nice, Welcoming Flying School.

re: Is this a commercial airport ???

I don't know if the airport is legal for commercial operations like charter, flight training, or crop-dusting, but it doesn't have any scheduled airline service.

June 2011 - Great spot to land and a good spot to stay and enjoy outback hospitality. Warren at the local store is also the refueller and is a top bloke despite what the sign on the door says.

Facilities

3 good long strips with a little bit of hard standing area. Right on the coast and close to town. Great scenery and only a bit over an hour from Adelaide in a P28A-181. Had a great day out and a lovely feed of fish at the Franklin Hbr hotel.

Hospitality

Flew in from Parafield on way to check out Coorong and the mighty Murray River. Rang George Bland (number in AOPA airport directory) to check on strip condition. Good he said. Easy to find, close to town, and 2 good strips to land on. He even came out to pick us up and run us into town for a coffee and then dropped us back again. FANTASTIC show of hospitality and my overseas friends were most impressed. I will certainly be going back. Lake is full and facilities (clubhouse) all in process of being done up. Less than an hour from Parafield and only an hour on the long way home via Goolwa and coastal to Outer Harbour.

Thanks from Colin

Where else to go and practice/learn how to fly???

I am a student pilot as well - learning helicopters. Now I suppose we could have an airport in the middle of nowhere, but how do you get there?? Bankstown isn't close (I live near the City), but certainly closer than Camden. I mean, this is Australia and we fly here. So... where else to go???
