    Professional Helicopter Services are proposing to establish two Temporary Restricted Areas (TRAs) in the vicinity of the Phillip Island Racetrack in support of the Phillip Island Moto Grand Prix (GP).

    The issue

    As in previous years, a TRA is proposed to be established around the Phillip Island Moto GP Racing Track between the 20-22 October 2023 due to increased helicopter activity associated with the event (TRA-MOTOGP). The dimensions of TRA-MOTOGP are unchanged from previous years.

    In addition, a larger TRA is proposed for two RAAF flying displays to be conducted on 21 and 22 October (TRA-DISPLAY).

    Purpose

    To provide notification of upcoming Moto GP event at Phillip Island and raise awareness of the increased activity in the area.

    The following TRAs are proposed:

    TRA-MOTOGP

    • Lateral Limits: 2 n mile radius of 383010S 1451355E
    • Vertical Limits: Surface (SFC) – 5000 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
    • Proposed hours of activity: 08:00 - 18:00 local time on the following dates (check NOTAMs):
      • 20 October 2023
      • 21 October 2023
      • 22 October 2023
    • Controlling Authority: Professional Helicopter Services

    TRA-DISPLAY

    • Lateral Limits: 5 n mile radius of 383010S 1451355E
    • Vertical Limits: SFC – 6000 feet AMSL
    • Proposed hours of activity: Activated on the following dates (check NOTAMs for final timings):
      • 21 October 2023 (14:25-14:50 local time)
      • 22 October 2023 (13:20-14:05 local time)
