Hi all.

For the spotters out there, RIO will be doing it's night landings at Jandakot while Perth has it's runways painted black.
There may be day movements as well depending on tasking.

Cheers

why night landings... both runways are open at night at perth, except 03/21 has a displaced threshold

Apparently it's to do with this....

I noticed today on the drive to jandakot that they were using the main runway.... not a clue why tho - maybe the contractors wanted a day off?

I can also confirm no aircraft were heard from any usage of the cross runway today.

Ya... ok. It's an old joke from when roadworks used to be done around our house when I was a child.
Obviously not a NOTAM....

But still nice to see a Jet outside the door here sometimes
