  • Risk to the Safety of Aviation at Shellharbour Airport
    UNITED UNDER THE COMMON GOAL OF ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF AVIATION SAFETY 11 June 2021: Sent electronically via email The Hon. Rob Stokes, MP 52 Martin Place SYDNEY NSW 2000 Risk to the Safety of Aviation at Shellharbour Airport Dear Minister Stokes Our organisations collectively write to you to express our deep concern about the risk that the conditionally approved Tallawarra B project poses to the safety of aviation at Shellharbour Airport. Energy Australia have been working towards building an Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) power plant at Tallawarra since 2010. One of the main complexities associated with this proposal is that it poses a risk to aviation safety at the Shellharbour airport. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) recommended modelling has shown that every OCGT unit studied in the period since 2010 would pose a significant risk to the safety of aviation. Energy Australia are now seek- ing full approval for an OCGT unit with the addition of a mechanical diffuser on the stack in order to reduce the impact to airport users. The following is relevant in understanding the level of concern we collectively have regarding the risk this proposal might pose to the safety of aviation at Shellharbour Airport: • The assessment consultant that the proponent used for all assessments since 2010 confirmed to En- ergy Australia in writing that a mechanical diffuser on the stack will not sufficiently reduce the plume velocity because the primary driver of vertical velocity is thermal, which the mechanical diffuser does not address. Energy Australia subsequently changed plume modelling consultants. • Every plume rise assessment completed for Tallawarra till recently has been fully transparently docu- mented and shared with NSW Department Infrastructure, Energy and Environment, CASA and Shellhar- bour City Council.

  • Farewell Qantas
    Farewell Qantas 747 Wednesday 22 July was a sad day for many aviation enthusiasts as Qantas’ last Boeing 747-438 ER, VH-OEJ, ‘Wunala’, departed Sydney for Los Angeles and eventually to the aircraft boneyard in Victorville on the edge of the Mojave Desert, to be placed into storage. The departure was done in style though with all the fanfare and flourish befitting the ‘Queen of the Skies’! After push back, the aircraft initially performed a ‘lap of honour’ at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, complete with the traditional water cannon salute, before departing on Runway 16R as QF7474. The departure was followed by some low level passes over the Sydney metropolitan area before VH-OEJ turned south to the Illawarra to fly over her older sibling, VH-OJA ‘City of Canberra’ at Shellharbour airport. The departure of VH-OEJ marks the end of almost 50 years of Qantas operating Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo jet’ aircraft. The first was a Boeing 747-238, entering service with Qantas in September 1971. A total of 65 747s were operated by Qantas during the period 1971 to 2020, including almost every variant offered by Boeing. Many Qantas staff, past and present, attended HARS on the day to wave farewell to VH-OEJ and catch up with old friends from their days of flying. As VH-OEJ passed over Shellharbour airport at 1,500 feet, Captain Sharelle Quinn saluted the first Qantas 747-438: “...from the last Qantas Boeing 747, farewell to HARS and farewell to OJA,” before setting course for Los Angeles. At least that’s what everyone thought until somebody noticed on a flight tracking app, the aircraft turning back towards Port Macquarie.

  • Risks to the Safety of Aviation of the Proposed Tallawarra B Open Cycle Gas Turbine
    Shellharbour Airport Committee Report Risks to the Safety of Aviation of The Proposed Tallawarra B Open Cycle Gas Turbine and other Peaking Power Plants January 24, 2020 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Australia (AOPA Australia) ABN 95 004 274 588 Hangar 600, Prentice Street, Bankstown Airport NSW 2200 Australia.PO BOX 26, Georges Hall NSW 2198 Australia. 2 AOPA Australia Executive Summary This report, provided by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Australia, identifies serious threat to human life associated with the Peaking Power Plant proposed by the proponent for the circuit of Shellharbour Airport. The report goes on to describe the specifics of the threat, the details of how the threat has so far come to be unrecognised, and recommendations moving forward. Issue Statement Any form of peaking power plant will pose a serious and unavoidable risk to the safety of aviation within the circuit at Shellharbour Airport, along with potential risk to the general public residing within the vicinity of the Shellharbour Airport runway 34 circuit. To fulfil the proponent’s Duty of Care requirements, the proponent must conduct a technically rigorous and transparent plume assessment, using CASA and Shellharbour City Council endorsed critical factors with results validated against the available Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) airport site data. It is CASA’s responsibility to require that the anomalies identified in this AOPA report are rectified and that data more relevant to the types of aircraft placed at risk by the Tallawarra B plume be the focus of the Aeronautical Impact Assessment. Issue Summary It is unclear from the Proponent’s Aeronautical Impact Report (062001-03), specifically what is being assessed, or how it has been assessed.

  • HARS Aviation Museum Parkes Activities Restoration Work on Aircraft at Our Parkes Museum Continues with Significant Progress Made Since Our Last Parkes Report
    HARS Aviation Museum Parkes activities Restoration work on aircraft at our Parkes museum continues with significant progress made since our last Parkes report. Lockheed P2V-5 Neptune 302 has now had most external painting completed with attention also focused on painting internal surfaces. Engines and propellers are installed, main wings have had a coat of paint and the vertical stabiliser is ready for installation. Parkes High School students have painted window trims, installed the windows to the cockpit, repainted safety markings on the aircraft and spray painted the interior nose area. The Westland HAS.31B Wessex helicopter has had a wash down and the main rotor blades have been installed. Wooden blades for the tail rotor were mocked up by the Parkes High School students as we have been unable to source original blades. Unfortunately, while the Wessex was outside the wind caught the hinged tail and three of the wooden tail rotor blades were damaged. These have now been remade and fitted. A Fiat tractor has been procured to be used as an aircraft tug. It has had a strengthened chassis fitted and now the students are in the process of preparing the vehicle for repainting. Lockheed P2V-7 Neptune 272 has had some sheet metal repairs to the areas damaged by a cyclone while it was still at Townsville and the fin and rudder have had their first coat of paint. Parkes Rural Fire Service cadets RFS cadets from Parkes High School were at the museum on 16 September to carry out a training exercise. The scenario was that a crashed aircraft required evacuation of personnel and the fighting of internal fires.
