Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This CASA exemption temporarily lets Sydney Airport operate without the required runway end safety area at the western undershoot of Runway 07. It only applies to landings when crosswinds make other runways unsafe (over 20 knots) or for urgent medical/emergency flights.

To mitigate risk, the eastern end (Runway 25) must have a compliant safety area and Runway 25 operations are shortened by 97 m when used. Valid 14 May 2008–31 Oct 2008.
