Airspace Incursions – Sunshine Coast

Members are reminded of the importance of thorough pre-flight planning and regularly updating aeronautical charts prior to flight. RAAus receives a large number of airspace incursion occurrences which are reported from members as well as Airservices Australia.

In particular, pilots operating in the Sunshine Coast region should pay particular attention to airspace due to complex airspace and recent changes resulting in a high number of airspace violations.

Pilots should also ensure they are visually confirming position when operating, as a number of occurrences have occurred due to small discrepancies in GPS/EFB location incorrectly indicating to pilots that they are clear of controlled airspace.
