07 takeoffs

Certain houses on the 07 flight path. I know spring st in arnliffe was done. Well half of it did, the western half was done and the eastern half missed out. I guess they had to draw the line somewhere. Not sure who funded it and not sure how much of an area they covered.

Thanks Tony.

I haven't seen an 07 departure in years, 25 departures a little more common.

07 landings still relatively frequent, particularly on weekends?

[Trent C]

07 Arrivals are reasonably common in the warmer months with a sea breeze active however ATC prefer to nominate 34 parallel operations in busier periods as it doubles the capacity. This simply means a crosswind landing, which is preferable to the usual 07 arrival. A summertime 07 approach has a tailwind (prevailing westerly) all the way down final until just below 1000' when you hit the sea breeze and encounter turbulence and overshoot shear. Care must be taken to be sure to meet all the stable approach criteria.

I landed on 07 twice over the recent weekend. The last time I departed RWY 07 at Sydney was Jan 2007. (Incidentally I landed on RWY 09 at Melbourne earlier this year for the first time despite the fact that I have been operating regularly into that airport since 1999.)

Nice to see some 07 Arrivals this afternoon.
Just saw QF64 OJJ arrive a short time ago and that is a sight I haven't seen for a long time...although for some more regular visitors,it may not be so rare.

Sorry to dig this up; they're doing 07 departures today.

[James S.]

The Singapore A380 used 07 for takeoff.... and so did the Air Tahiti A340 in spectacular underpowered A340 fashion, banking extremely early at a very low height (800feet or so?) to heading 030 with what was easily the most entertaining takeoff I've seen at Sydney for a long time.

07 ops again today but this time due to a rescue operation taking place near Cronulla which prevented aircraft from landing on the 34 parrallels. SQ222 operated by 9V-SKR and SB140 by F-OJGF were the only heavies to depart 07 though.

Nice early bank from F-OJGF though.

They are using 07 for departures again.

07 departures operational again at this time!
