The Temporary Restricted Areas (TRAs) will be active during the period of 8 - 13 October 2024 as a result of increased helicopter traffic and military aircraft displays
The issue
TRAs are proposed. The TRAs will be active during the period of 8 - 13 October 2024. The event will result in increased helicopters activity and military flying display aircraft.
Purpose
4 TRAs are proposed to support a large number of air traffic movements associated with the Repco Bathurst 1000 Motor Race.
Proposal
4 TRAs are proposed:
- R960 will be established in the interest of aviation safety, centred on Bathurst aerodrome (YBTH) (5 nautical mile (n mile) radius) on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October. The restricted area is necessary to exclude gliding, parachuting, ultralight, microlight and weightshift microlight activity in the interests of public safety.
- R961 will be established at Mt Panorama from Tuesday 8 October until Sunday 13 October inclusive due to the aerial filming helicopter operating at high speed with regular direction changes
- R962A and R962B will be established at Mt Panorama for short periods between Tuesday 8 and Sunday 13 October to provide for aviation safety during Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) flying displays. Aircraft in the Mt Panorama area are required to be on the ground or remain clear of 962AB during TRA activation periods. R962B will sit vertically (8500 feet - Flight Level 180) above previously used R962A. Please refer to the aeronautical information package supplement H120/24 for further information (attached).
