Edition 1, September 2024
Moorabbin is the third busiest Metro D aerodrome in Australia (2024), serving as on of Australia's key flight training locations.
It is a complex operating environment with unique characteristics such as:
- a diverse range and large volume of aircraft operations, incl. commercial, freight and training
- an airspace structure adjoining the high-density airspace of the Melbourne Basin
- a complex aerodrome layout with a parallel crossing runway configuration.
In this newsletter, we detail several operational scenarios which are common within complex aerodromes such as Moorabbin, including some of the contributing factors and tips mitigate these scenarios. With the volume of aircraft operations in the Melbourne Basin expected to grow, it is crucial for all of us to stay focused and committed to ensuring system-wide safety.
