I am aware of your first point, and your 2nd point, jbr76, HOWEVER, What is the point of having a sign saying "Landings rwy 25 preferred?"
Is that just for noise abatement?
It's kind of confusing.....

What's the point in using the signs if it's normal procedure to use 07 for takeoffs in nil winds/the 'normal' SE Winds, and 25 when the sock shows otherwise?

Makes the sign kind of redundant, in my opinion.

Is there something I'm not getting/am missing?
Here's the application of the above. I departed YRED one morning (5am), wind slightly favouring rwy 25 (only a couple of knots max) so I used 07 for take-off to keep the neighbours happy.

Second scenario, came back to YRED late one night. Slight seabreeze still blowing favouring 07, but I used 25 again to keep the D-Bay residents happy. Not that a Cessna is too loud.

Pretty simple to understand.

Don't mean to sound like a prick Pyro, but you ask a lot of questions that could easily be answered correctly by your instructor.

True, I just never think of the questions during the lesson, I'm more focussed on flying!

Thanks anyway.
