Hi,
@NZQN expert today - great airport, great approach but can we please on tower ATC /departures and arrivals look at this great previous post:
Queenstown Airport is a lovely airport in southern New Zealand that has breathtaking views BUT, more often or not, this airport is used incorrectly by many people on IF. This post is simply a guide on how to correctly use this airport.
First off, let me get some stuff off my chest;
The largest plane this airport can handle is an A321/B757. That means NO heavies.
Secondly, whenever I control or visit this airport, majority of the people that come here taxi incorrectly. This is a sight I often…
Landed on 05 asked to turn right on the taxiway, no back taxis are being used.
I’m not going into the grass swamp :)
Thanks.
