Looks like a relatively standard approach for a left circuit for 16L. You would've been tracking for the VOR and then vectors from there but looks like you've had some track shortening probably due other traffic that has gotten you flying right over the CBD. Also, with such a nice day, you would've gotten a visual approach so those sorts of tracking are normal.

Thanks Jason. No question - the views were superb - I wish I'd had a camera at the ready.

What about going the other way? How often is R25 used for heavy take offs these days?

Almost everything heavy went off RWY25 on the Sunday of the Spotting Weekend in May

07 arrivals isn't so bad, as they can still use all of the other runways. And with the sun setting, I'm sure the pilots appreciate the lack of glare out front!

07 for arrivals seems to be used mainly in the Spring and Summer periods when light south easterly winds are more common.

I remember when I was young, 07 arrivals were much much more often then there are these days. You'd have to turn up the tele or pause the phone conversation you'd be having. This was before the 3rd runway opened.

I remember that Matthew. Nothing wrong with the noise then they went ahead and sound proofed dedicated houses on the flight path.

Which houses were soundproofed ? I vaguely remember something about that. Was it just the ones close to the airport ?
