A flight down the harbour at 500 feet, way beneath the tops of the skyscrapers, is spectacular. The club is blessed with highly skilled and experienced staff. CFI Captain SK Gupta has 51 years flying under his belt, including four wars. He flew for the Indian, the Iraqi (“before Saddam”), and the Singaporean Air Forces and for Singapore Airlines (SIA). He set up SIA’s first training college and went on to train Malaysian cadets and RAAF pilots in Australia. His vast experience is evident throughout the club. Since his arrival, he has implemented several initiatives including training courses. He organises three ground school courses a year to bring students up to their PPL level. The syllabus is similar to that of the UK CAA, as is the RT. He says: “I love to share my passion for flying with students. The greatest reward and satisfaction comes from helping students coming up through the ranks.” Helicopter pilots benefit from DCFI(H) Captain John Li, a retired accountant and passionate aviator, who is also regional vice chairman of GAPAN. He has been instrumental in bringing recreational helicopter flying to Hong Kong. The club took delivery of its first R22 in 2003. He explains his Left: Hong Kong instructors (from left) Kenny Choi, Capt SK Gupta, and John Li Below: the offices of the local air cadets are right next door motivation: “When the student learns, we Hong Kong heroes learn.

  • WORKING PAPER No. 30 BROADBRUSH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISON of DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS
    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER No. 30 BROADBRUSH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARISON OF DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS Purpose 1. This paper provides the broad-brush environmental comparison of the development options formulated under the Reference Scenario of the HK2030 Study and an overview of the environmental issues related to the options. It should be noted that the current assessment is part of the staged Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the HK2030 Study and there are still uncertainties as regards many of the current results. Reference Scenario and development options 2. The Reference Scenario has been developed under the HK2030 Study illustrating the key planning assumptions as well as land use and infrastructure requirements, based on which the long-term spatial development patterns would be formulated and assessed. Under the Reference Scenario, a population of 9.2 million and an employment of 4.0 million by 2030 have been assumed (a summary of the key planning assumptions is at Annex A). 3. With the forecasted demand, various planning choices, including intensification of existing and planned development areas as well as identification of new growth areas, are devised to accommodate the additional demand for various land uses. After that, an Initial Scoping Exercise has been conducted to identify the more realistic and practical development options by examining the key considerations of various planning choices.

  • Submission Received from Hong Kong Aviation Club on 8 November 2006
    CB(1)252/06-07(06) Written Representation in Response to Kai Tak Planning Review Public Consultation Digest (3) in Respect of the Site of Hong Kong Aviation Club in Kai Tak 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This written representation is submitted on behalf of the Hong Kong Aviation Club (HKAC) in response to the Public Consultation Digest (3) of Stage 3 Public Participation of the Kai Tak Planning Review in respect of its site in Kai Tak. 1.2 In the Public Consultation Digest (3), the site of the Hong Kong Aviation Club at Kai Tak is designated as an “Institution or Community” (“IC”) site for sport facility purposes in the draft Preliminary Outline Development Plan (PODP). 1.3 However, the site designated for “Institution or Community” use is much smaller than the site currently used by the HKAC. Retention of the whole current site of 1.03 hectare is of extreme importance to the Club’s development of aviation education and promotion of aviation culture in Hong Kong. 1.4 The Public Consultation Digest also proposed an at-grade cross-boundary heliport site at the south-western tip of the runway to serve cross-boundary travellers. As the existing HKAC’s helicopter operation base has to be relocated with the future development of the Kai Tak area, HKAC would like to express its interest in sharing the use of the future heliport site at the tip of the runway. 1.5 This written submission is therefore prepared to provide information on the operation of the HKAC and justifications for the retention of the whole site for the HKAC.
