It would be a good move to be able to just use car hazard lights on airfields where gliders operate.
We are stuck with it until that happens, and I prefer to do what the glider operators ask - one less whinge to have with their councils. However, Toowoomba City AD is an RPT Certified AD (even though the passenger traffic has all moved to Wellcamp) and that's where we keep the Diamond Star. I have had some good suggestions about suction mounts and lightweight beacons - thanks everyone.

The matter of yellow/orange rotating beacon being required on CASA registered aerodromes by some of CASA's Aerodrome Inspectors, and poorly informed Council's insisting on such, is likely to go away. CASA are about (at long last - issue in June?) to release the Notice of Proposed Rule Making for the new updated Part 139 Aerodromes. It is expected that the NPRM (which is being issued for public comment for a period of 3 or 4 months) will have the precise details on this matter. It is expected that use of a motor vehicles ordinary hazard flashers will be the go as all vehicles these days have such as standard fitment.. However the situation with capital city airports unde rthe airport act is controlled by the act. The in between situation of serious scale CASA certified aerodromes I can't speak to, but these are airports one is not likely to want to launch off anyway.

Does anyone know of a supplier of beacons with a suction cup - preferably a smaller size beacon? This is a trend for newer cars, so others may have encountered the problem already.
