lots of training aircraft, this is where Cathay, uni sa, and many other school run out from, 4 strips = 8 runways, most people with private aircraft generally would hanger in this location, has BP av fuel and tankers which cruise around topping up AC, quality ATC as they are used to trainees and are forgiving with poor radio calls, runways are over 1000m so heaps of room for landing
