Gawler – Duty Runway Operations
Complex operation• Gliding• LSA• Outside users
Gliding operations determine the Duty Runway• ERSA - When gliding OPS in progress the Duty
Runway is the RWY in use by the Gliding Operation
Gawler – Duty Runway OperationsThe gliding Duty Instructor may opt to not use the most into wind runway• The gliding Duty Instructor may prefer to use RWY 23
over RWY 13 even if there is a 5 knot SE wind
Potential for serious conflict - eg• Wind – light from the east• Glider operation using RWY 05 – left hand circuits• LSA opt use RWY 13 – right hand circuits• Conflict potential • In the air - downwind 05 / base 13• In the air - base 05 / downwind 13• On the ground – runway intersection
Gawler – Duty Runway OperationsIt is not an acceptable practice to operate from other than the Duty Runway unless • By prior agreement between Gliding and LSA instructors, eg
cross wind training• Landing on other than the Duty Runway is OK providing the
Duty Runway is not crossed on the landing roll
When landing on a non Duty Runway modify circuit direction to comply with the directional flow of the Duty Runway• If Duty Runway is 05 do a left hand circuit to land on 13
If a pilot has concerns with the Duty Runway• Talk to the gliding Duty Instructor• Don’t fly!

YGAW – Proposed CTAF Radio Frequency
• The Gliding Federation of Australia has requested Gawler (and other airfields) to cease using frequencies allocated to gliding as the aerodrome CTAF frequency
• ASC has written to CASA requesting a CTAF change from 122.5 to another frequency (not 126.7)
• Further advice will be provided once the change is confirmed
