Mushrooms v Bubble Heads (Round 28).
Re large, tall, vortex creating buildings impinging on runway (and the public) safety zones. Whereas the great 'developer protection racket' romps along unchecked; and, millions are being generated through clever little 'work-around' and blatant gouging; the rest of the grown up, safety conscious nations are raising the 'Your Safety is our first concern' bar. No 'welcome to country' twaddle - just great service, sensible rates and the very best 'safety' standards they can achieve. Bravo Singapore; well done.
Rather than attempt to publish the current dog's breakfast of the Australian version; I raise only two items: the aberration which is Essendon and Singapore's sane, safe approach to 'best' practice'.
Singapore -: Annex 14; Chapter 3; 3.4.3 - "the words 'whenever practical' in Annex 14 paragraph 3-4-3 have been removed in our national regulations. Without exception, the width of the runway strip shall be 140m where the code is 3 or 4: and, 70m where the code is number 1 or 2.
Singapore -: Annex 14; Chapter 4; 4.2.14. For a precision approach runway category , the inner approach surface, inner transitional surface shall be established, in addition to the conical surface, inner horizontal surface approach surface and transitional surfaces.
No food for Mushrooms in those plain paragraphs; just a genuine, professional approach to 'Gold standards'. If you are stuck for background - start -HERE -.
Somebody fetch me an Ale - or a bucket; I have a great need of both; having just read through the piffle Australia has produced; ICAO compliant:-
