Werribee South sits under the Point Cook training area's low traffic — light aircraft and circuits over the coast through daylight hours, undercounted because much of the fleet is untracked.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
