Satellite Laser Ranging Station WA

[kiwiaviator]

I have been told that the red 'blob' on the attached map near Geraldton is a satellite laser ranging station. Not a lot of info on it that I can find except for this at https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/positioning-navigation/geodesy/geodetic-techniques/satellite-laser-ranging-slr

 

Does anyone have any references as to how one should transit/avoid this airspace? There doesn't appear to be any associated notes and its not R nor D airspace? Is it NOTAM activated?

 

Even a 'WARNING - Deathstar may operate at any time' note would be helpful.

 

In the meantime, I'm staying away from the red blob..

Do you mean R131A-G? RA3 designation H24. Fly under the steps or around

OK. Looking at my Ozrunways map, I can not see any notation referring to R131A-G. Where would I find that information including step heights PapaFox? Apologies if this is obvious to all except me. I would have thought the R designation would be on the map. PS. NAIPS doesn't give the step info.

ERC Low 8, and ERSA for step heights under R131 in PRD.

Classifications, altitudes and hours are also listed in the table on the ERC-L charts. It's been a long time since I've used Ozrunways to advise how to select the airspace on the map in there

Yep. Shows up on the ERC-L chart. I'll refer to this a bit more often. There is a lot of information out there. Its just a matter of finding where it lurks. Thanks guys.
