I'll try and dig up a photo from years back, but I have a shot of a Cessna doing a glide about 10ft above 34L and then going up again to continue on its merry way. It was abit of a quiet time in the afternoon though so I don't suspect it has much impact on the Cessna's larger friends.
If it serves me correct, it's tragic to see that Bankstown is now down to what, 6 Flying Schools? Basair, Schofields, Illawarra, Whitworth, Pacific Air Services and Clamback & Henessy. In my short time I've spent there with flight training, I get the nasty impression things aren't going to improve, considering we've found out today they will now be charging for parking throughout the airport!

Parking at Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown
Bankstown Airport Limited will be introducing parking controls on Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown from mid 2010 onwards.
These controls will provide areas for staff and visitor parking and ensure that emergency access ways are free from parked cars. Part of these parking controls will be the introduction of Pay for Parking, requiring all users of the Airport to either purchase a parking permit or pay for casual parking.
The initial roll out of ’pay for parking’ will occur on the northern side of the airport prior to extending airport wide and is expected to be in place later in 2010.
Over the next few months we will be talking to tenants and airport users about their parking requirements and the proposed parking changes on our Airport.

Edit: 6 schools, not 5, sorry Schoies!
