  • As airline traffic is low due to the COVID situation, Sydney airport has been letting GA pilots experience landing/takeoff at YSSY. This video shows highlights from one such flight, from Bankstown airport to Sydney, under VFR rules.
    Have recorded all radio calls including taxi instructions (you can see the ATC was very patient with us). Refer to ERSA for frequencies.
    The route is:
    Bankstown airport -- Parramatta -- Pennant Hills -- Hornsby -- Long Reef -- Harbour Bridge -- Sydney airport
    Overall flight time was about 25 minutes.
    Prior to the flight, some planning was involved - booked a slot about a week prior, then called up and discussed the flight with the Airport manager etc.
    There were 3 of us in the plane, all 3 are pilots, with me being Pilot in Command for this part of the flight. It really helped having someone else on the right seat helping change radio frequencies! Excuse the amateur'ish radio calls, its not very often that I venture into Class C airspace :)

    I landed at Sydney during my training in 1981. “Keep your speed up, there’s a 747 behind you.” 😮 “Take the high speed taxiway to the left.” Probably the most memorable event from my training.

    Very enjoyable video. I am surprised that you landed on the big runway, but i am so glad you got that opportunity.

    How much for landing fees there?

      I paid $132.86 all up.
      The detailed breakdown:
      1) $60 Runway Charge. The cost is $6.59 per 1000 kilos, but has a $60 minimum. There's no explicit "landing" charge.
      2) $0.39 Passenger & Airfield Security charge. The cost is $0.34 per 1000 kilos. The aircraft MTOW was 1160 kgs, so this works out to $0.39.
      3) GST of 10% on the above
      4) Multiple the above figure $60.39+GST by 2 as there are 2 flight plans, one for theleg going in and one for the leg flying out.
      The prices as of 2021 are here: assets.ctfassets.net/v228i5y5k0x4/1viJiqYujos0vpFcfQbdTo/e511a967130e61e5ab7f1e90d51dcc5e/Table_of_Charges_COU_Version_2.42_-_1_Jan_2021.pdf
