ADIZ 200 nm radius around Sydney for APEC

[Mazda]

Does everyone know about this? There is now an ADIZ 200nm around Sydney. Yes, 200 nm. So if you are flying anywhere from Jindabyne to north of Port Macquarie, out to Temora, West Wyalong, Dubbo and Tamworth, this affects you.

 

This means you need to submit a flight plan unless you depart from the ADIZ on a steady outbound track, only operate within 10 miles of the departure point, or are performing an instrument approach. You might want to have a look at AIP re intercept procedures.

hmm.. doesn't this (at the start):

 

HOWEVER, ONLY THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES FROM ENR 1.12 SHALL APPLY TO

and this:

AIR-GROUND-AIR RADIO REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER, THE RESTRICTIONS AND

 

PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN AIP SUP H23/07 FOR FLIGHTS WI R902 REMAIN

mean that we dont have to file flight plans unless you were doing so anyway, or am I not reading things correctly (highly likely as I'm just a newbie student)?

 

Anybody from RA-AUS or Air Services or Dept of Defence care to comment?

 

 

[Mazda]

Sain, reading it again I think you are right. I've read the AIP and it does say flight plans are required, but the NOTAM seems to counteract that.

 

 

[zedman]

OK guys, from the horses mouth.

 

I just rang the Department of Defence on the number listed in the ADIZ (1800 562 222), and the officer on duty confirmed the following:

 

IF OUTSIDE THE 45 DME RADIUS OF SYDNEY (ie outside R902) - THEN NO FLIGHT PLANS NEEDED OR CHANGES TO USUAL PROCEDURES REQUIRED

 

So everyone stand down - issue closed.

 

The officer stated they just posted the ADIZ for informational purposes.

 

And by the way, if the weather is suitable, i will definatly be flying on the 7th (and 8th, and 9th) - from YKAT to west somewhere. YKAT is just outside the 45DME - so nice tight circuits inbound and outbound.

 

later,

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR YKAT APEC WEEKEND

 

As stated in ERSA for YKAT ( Left and Right hand circuits)

 

Right Hand circuits for runways 06 and also for 28 will be CHANGED TO "LEFT HAND CIRCUITS"

 

And 24 and 10 will be CHANGED TO "RIGHT HAND CIRCUITS" for the APEC week only!

 

Due to the close proximity of the 45 nm DME which will encrouch upon the normal circuit perameters.

 

See you there James.! better be early m8 ;) will be a que for the plane if the weather is good ;)
