DRAFT ONLY. All aircraft operations are conducted in accordance with Civil Aviation Regulations and mandatory aviation operating and safety procedures have precedence over the FNA in all circumstances. A vital part of pilot training is “circuit training”, which involves repeated take-offs and landings, and flying along a designated path that is within sight of the Airport at all times. At Port Macquarie, circuit training is conducted with a standard left hand (the most common) circuit, meaning that aircraft turn left after take-off and fly in an anticlockwise direction around the Airport. When wind and traffic conditions permit, pilots are encouraged to operate off runway 03 with circuits conducted to the west of the airport. To minimise the noise impact on Airport neighbours, continuous circuit training hours will be limited to: Port Macquarie Airport operates 24 hours a day. Non-training aircraft departing or returning to the Airport are not subject to these training limits and may still need to fly around a circuit to land safely. It is also acknowledged that emergency services operators including police, fire, search and rescue and infrastructure-monitoring operations may not always be able to adhere to the guidance contained herein.
