SAFA is seeking to establish a TDA in Class E and G airspace, near Corryong, Victoria, in support of the Corryong Open 2027 paragliding event.
The issue
Paraglider pilots will be flying in proximity to Corryong airport from Sunday 21 February to Saturday 27 February 2027. An exemption from carriage and use of airband VHF radios by participants is also being applied for to support this event.
The proposed TDA will make other airspace users aware of up to 90 paraglider pilots flying cross-country tasks to set goals.
Horizontal limitations – Vertices:
- 36° 00' 48"S 147° 17' 24"E
- 35° 39' 54"S 148° 28' 30"E
- 36° 21' 25"S 148° 27' 51"E
- 36° 27' 53"S 147° 43' 07"E
Vertical limitations: Class E & G, up to 12,500’ amsl.
Purpose
Establishment of a TDA for the Corryong Open 2027 paragliding competition.
Proposal
The Corryong Open 2027 is an internationally recognised and sanctioned, paragliding cross-country racing competition. The competition will run from 11:00 Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) on Sunday 21 February 2027 until 17:00 AEDT on Saturday 27 February 2027. A maximum of 90 paraglider aircraft will be competing, flying daily tasks from 11:00 AEDT to 17:00 AEDT.
This proposed TDA may affect other Class E and G airspace users in the vicinity of Corryong Airport. Flying will be confined to the volume of Class E and Class G airspace, up to 12,500 feet above mean sea level (amsl), enclosed by the red-bounded shaded area on the diagram below.
