May 22, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy residents shouldn’t be alarmed if they spot a very low-flying aircraft early next month.<\/p>\n

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) plans to carry out safety checks at Kingaroy Airport.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy is one of 17 Queensland aerodromes which will be checked between May 31 and June 8.<\/p>\n

The checks are being conducted by CASA to make sure instrument procedure flight paths at the aerodromes operate safely.<\/p>\n

A twin-engine Cessna Conquest aircraft will be used to carry out the checks within an area up to 35km from the strip.<\/p>\n

Low-level flying is an essential part of the safety exercise, with the aircraft down as low as several hundred feet at times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents may notice an uncommon flying pattern, but this is to make sure obstacles are accurately marked on charts and no new obstacles exist.<\/p>\n

Obstacles can be towers, trees, masts or buildings that can be a danger to aircraft.<\/p>\n

CASA requires aerodrome flight path safety checks to be carried out every three years to maintain a high level of air safety at all aerodromes.<\/p>\n

If poor weather or other factors do not allow the safety checks to go ahead on the planned days, they will be carried out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

CASA has contracted the operation of the special check flights out to Corporate Air, one of Australia\u2019s largest and longest established aviation services providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
