In doing this, you will join thousands of pilots who have benefited from the information these guides provide. Since the VPGs were introduced in 1998, they have become an integral part of the visual pilot’s flight bag. Originally developed in response to the rising number of violations of controlled airspace in the Brisbane area, their popularity grew to the point that CASA decided to produce them for all the former GAAP aerodromes. They undergo a process of continual improvement made possible only through feedback from industry, and the dedication of a number of industry participants. The VPGs are a must-have item for any pilot wishing to fly into or out of the featured aerodromes. NOTE: The information contained in this guide was correct at the time of publishing, and is subject to change without notice. CASA makes no representation as to its accuracy. It has been prepared by CASA Safety Promotion for information purposes only. Plan your route thoroughly, and carry current charts and documents. Always check ERSA, NOTAMs, and the weather, BEFORE you fly.
