The Rottnest Aerodrome plays an important part in the training of civilian
pilots in Western Australia. Trainee pilots often practice circuits, cross-wind
landings and take-offs using the Aerodrome. Rottnest can be challenging
for trainee pilots of light fixed-wing aircraft due to the strong cross-winds
often experienced as the aircraft come in to land.
The Rottnest Aerodrome is also important for training in the use of radio
navigation aids. Rottnest has a non-directional beacon (NDB), which pilots
use to learn night flying. NDBs are located at every major Airport and
many minor airfields around Australia as aids to navigation.
