LIST OF HAZARDS Current as of 30th March 2020
- Cars driving on the grass adjacent to the cane field towards the entrance to the threshold of runway 28. This appears to have been stopped by a dirt drain/mound placed outside the runway threshold.
- Trees growing in height at each end of runway 18/36
- Increasing height of fill material on approach to runway 36 causing lift/sink/turbulence under certain conditions which cannot be predicted accurately.
- When using runway 18/36, under certain wind conditions the buildings and taxiways between them can cause wind gusts which may affect aircraft operations. This has not been shown to be a major hazard.
- Over time in recent years, some operators, not members of GCSFC have ignored white crosses on runways, even when work is being carried out.
