So it wasn't a proper procedure under the CARs but GFA engineered an exemption.
Worked out well didn't it?

Now I also wonder if going to the ground 3km
short of the airfield can be construed as a
"prescribed takeoff or landing procedure".
Doesn't look like it to me. In which case it
would seem to be in contravention of the CAR
about not flying below 500 feet (100feet if ridge soaring).

: Descent below 500 is permitted under the
conditions stated within 5km of the destination ALA.
Was originally published as an OD several years
ago, following agreement with CASA on the
details. The OD was cancelled when the new MOSP was issued.
Note that theres an expectation that youre
carrying enough energy to fit into the traffic
pattern when you reach the field which will
mean pulling up into a circuit if youre
arriving downwind, or being able to overfly a
runway obstacle if youre arriving upwind. Or,
in broader terms, the procedure is supposed to
be executed in parallel with a dont be a dickhead rule.
