[Dann einen schönen Urlaub!]
Gut, dass der Stefan dies dann erst nach dem Urlaub liest und sich hierüber heute nicht mehr ärgern muss ;-)
Ich habe mir dieses CAR-Dokument jetzt auch mal angesehen. In Regulation 161 steht eigentlich wenig Konkretes, was uns in dieser Diskussion weiterhilft. Dafür steht ein Stück weiter in Regulation 166, dass Stefan zumindest in Australien(!) mit seiner Interpretation FALSCH läge:
166 Operating in vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome
(1) For this regulation and regulation 166A, an aircraft is in the
vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome if it is within:
(a) airspace other than controlled airspace; and
(b) a horizontal distance of 10 miles from the aerodrome; and
(c) a height above the aerodrome reference point of the
aerodrome that could result in conflict with operations at
the aerodrome.
(2) The pilot in command of an aircraft that is being operated in
the vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome must:
(a) maintain a look-out for other aerodrome traffic to avoid
collision; and
(b) ensure that the aircraft does not cause a danger to other
aircraft in the vicinity of the aerodrome; and
(c) conform with, or avoid, the circuit pattern; and
(d) unless subregulation (3) or (4) applies — when
approaching the aerodrome to land, join the circuit pattern
for the direction in which landing is to be undertaken on
the upwind, crosswind or downwind leg; and
(e) after joining the circuit pattern for a landing or after taking
off:
(i) if CASA has directed for the aerodrome that all turns
be made in a particular direction — make all turns in
compliance with CASA’s directions; or
(ii) if subparagraph (i) does not apply and visual signals
are displayed at the aerodrome indicating a direction
to make all turns — make all turns in compliance
with the visual signals; or
(iii) in any other case — make all turns to the left; and
(f) to the extent practicable, land and take off into the wind;
and
(g) before landing, descend in a straight line starting at least
500 metres from the threshold of the landing runway and
at a distance common to the ordinary course of navigation
for the aircraft type; and
(h) after take-off, maintain the same track from the take-off
until the aircraft is 500 feet above the terrain unless a
change to the track is necessary for terrain avoidance.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
(3) The pilot in command of an aircraft may carry out a straight-in
approach to a non-controlled aerodrome only if:
(a) the aircraft is equipped with serviceable radio; and
(b) the pilot broadcasts the intention to do so on the
VHF frequency in use at the aerodrome; and
(c) before starting the approach, the pilot determines wind
direction and runways in use; and
(d) the pilot carries out all manoeuvring, to establish the
aircraft on final approach, at least 5 miles from the
threshold of the landing runway intended to be used; and
(e) the pilot gives way to any other aircraft established and
flying in the circuit pattern at the aerodrome.
(4) The pilot in command of an aircraft may join the circuit pattern
at a non-controlled aerodrome on the base leg, for the direction
in which landing is to be undertaken, only if:
(a) CASA has given approval to do so; and
(b) details of the approval have been published in AIP.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
(5) Paragraphs (2) (d) and (3) (b), (c) and (d) do not apply if:
(a) the pilot is conducting an instrument approach in I.M.C.;
and
(b) the instrument approach procedure positions the aircraft to
join the circuit other than on the upwind, cross-wind or
down-wind leg of the circuit pattern.
(6) A pilot in command may operate an aircraft in the vicinity of
an uncontrolled aerodrome that is designated under
regulation 166A only if:
(a) the aircraft has a serviceable VHF radio; or
(b) the operation is authorised in writing by CASA.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
(7) The pilot in command of an aircraft must not take the aircraft
off from, or land the aircraft on, a part of a non-controlled
aerodrome outside the landing area of the aerodrome.
Penalty: 25 penalty units.
(8) An offence against subregulation (2), (3), (4), (6) or (7) is an
offence of strict liability.
