    Description

    Hello Everyone. I had a few requests to do this airport so here is my tidy up of Rockhampton airport =YBRK.

    Rockhampton is located around 600 kms north of Brisbane on the capricorn coast . It is the beef capital of Queensland. The aircraft that service the airport are Qantaslink which services Brisbane,Cairns,Mackay and Townsville. Regional Express-REX which services Cairns and Proserpine . Virgin Australia services Brisbane airport. The royal flying doctor service has 1 of it's 9 bases in Qld located at Rocky. It also has a large general aviation operation her

    I hope everone enjoys this. And as usual if anything not working as it should please let me know.

    G-day mate. I just done an update that the taxiway points weren't merged properly so I have done that now, hopefully that will solve a lot of the AI problems.

    Nice job. I don't like dependencies but even without them your Rockhampton is light years beyond the sorry excuse Asobo have provided.

    Just paid my first visit to YBRK ... looks fantastic! I'll have a good look round later but immediately noticed that, coming off 33 to GA the taxiway is labelled as D whereas the Navigraph charts say it is E ... is Navigraph wrong?!?

    Hello thank you. I am looking at the airport charts for Rockhampton now. When i have a chance i will go back into the game and have a look at Rockhampton and check the taxiway labels to make sure i have it all good. Thank you for all that :)

    G-Day mate. I have just done an update and also renamed the taxiways, you were right, so they should be correct now.

    I was going to download it but then I realised you dont have a Qantas Link 717 sitting stuck on the grass. I'll wait till you have added it in. :)

    Any chance of an update with parking (for helicopters) at the RACQ Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Hanger?

    -23.374003, 150.478735


    Actually that little corner adjacent to Canoonda Rd was recently upgraded with the new hanger/base for the RACQ rescue service.

    why the papi 1 boX to far away for?

    S

    almost 4 years ago

    the big boX is the landing marker where the papi should be, where you should land the plane, you can not land the plane after the white boX, pls fiX, 1 boX is far to little for landing and gs not right due to this.

    This is correct to real life, please refer excerpt below:

    Rockhampton receives very frequent civilian and military international traffic of oversized aircraft, CAT D, E and H, i.e. A330MRTTs, C-17s, C-5s, An-124s etc. These aircraft are larger and have a longer fuselage. During approach, there is a great difference between the fuselage centre (or main landing gear) position and cockpit eye height.


    Should the PAPI be aligned with the aim point as usual (MEHT 50'), even though the cockpit would be on the correct glide path, the rest of the aircraft fuselage will not, and risk landing short, or compromising distance margins from threshold start. As such, PAPIs are adjusted further to prevent this. This is not unique to Rockhampton, many other airports, mainly international airports that serve types such as B744, B748, B77W, A359 etc. have visual approach slope guidance MEHTs higher than 50', displaced further down from the aim point marker.

    Version History

    - Have gone back and merged all the taxiway points so everything should be aligned now, The ATC should now guide you out onto the runway and vice versa. - Also, the AI aircraft should now use the airport properly with all the alignment (There might still be some bugs with the AI aircraft, but that is an Asobo problem)
