Restricted Areas SE Qld 27 Oct 2015

[Geoff13]

Whilst sitting at the wharf for over 2 hours today I opened up my Oz Runways to do a little bit of work on a trip I am planning.

 

It is the first time I have seen it but every Restricted Area within SE Qld and Northern NSW was active.

 

The map was almost totally red. Could have made for some interesting flying out there today.

 

Even Amberly had every part of their area active. It is common to see parts of it but I have never before seen it all Active.

 

So is there some big military exercise on or has the Queen dropped in for a visit unannounced?

Did you check the restricted areas on NAIPS to see it wasn't just a glitch on Oz Runways?

It must have been your ozrunways because it wasn't all active, r639 was the only one I've come across today.

I'm pretty sure r559 was active when I was flying home this am, I heard something about it on area as well as saw the red shading on ozrunways. I didn't take any notice of any other areas but was only 5-10 nm off 559 so was watching it:private eyes:

The fly boys seem to be shooting the heck out of Delamere near Tindall at the moment.

Very good reason to check the actual NOTAMs rather than relying solely on the map screen.

How do I get the restricted to show up?

 

 

[kaz3g]

Map view options (big cog, little cog), airspace, PRD

Exercise Arnhem Thunder is on around this time every year.

This is the best advice. Please follow.
