Beyond The Blue Aerospace (BTBA), a rocketry organisation, is seeking to conduct rocket launching activity approximately 40 nautical mile (n mile) Northwest of Goondiwindi, Qld, from 3-7 November 2022. Multiple windows are proposed in case of delays with the launching operations.
To mitigate residual airspace risks posed by the activity, a Temporary Restricted Area (TRA) is proposed from SFC to FL125 within Class G airspace and another from FL125 to FL250 in the controlled airspace above.
TRA Funny Farm Class G
Lateral Limits: 4NM radius of 280742S 1494206E
Vertical Limits: SFC to FL125
Controlling Authority: BTBA
TRA Funny Farm Controlled airspace
Lateral Limits: 4NM radius of 280742S 1494206E
Vertical Limits: FL125 to FL250
Controlling Authority: Airservices Brisbane Operations Manager
To mitigate residual airspace risk posed by the activity, a Temporary Danger Area (TDA) is proposed from SFC to A050 within Class G airspace.
TDA Funny Farm Class G
Lateral Limits: 3NM radius of 280742S 1494206E
Vertical Limits: SFC to A050
Controlling Authority: BTBA
To seek members feedback on the proposal to establish two TRAs due to high level rocket launching activity and one TDA due to rocket low level rocket activity.
