To notify AvSEF members of the proposed temporary changes to tower hours at Avalon Airport, which are intended to occur through to September 2023.
Airservices Australia is proposing temporary amendments to tower hours at Avalon Airport in response to operational resource constraints. These amendments are being proposed to provide improved predictability of our services and reduce ongoing tactical amendments to hours of coverage.
The following tower hours amendments are being proposed from 07 August 2023 to 30 September 2023:
Days | ERSA Start | ERSA End | Proposed Start | Proposed End |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mon-Sun | 07:00 | 22:00 | 09:00 | 12:00 |
Mon-Sun | 07:00 | 22:00 | 13:00 | 18:00 |
Please note, Avalon controlled airspace becomes Class E from 700 feet above ground level (AGL), and Class G from surface to 700 feet AGL outside tower hours.
It is important that all pilots are familiar and operate in accordance with the new flight operations regulations described within Part 91. These include:
Non-controlled operations | Civil Aviation Safety Authority (casa.gov.au)
