SA - Southern Launch | Proposed TRAs for Rocket Launch Activities at Sleaford

To seek feedback from airspace users on:

1. the potential effect of a proposed Temporary Restricted Area(s) upon their flight operations; and
2. post-event, any measured effect of the Temporary Restricted Areas.

The issue

• Two rocket launches between 1 May 2022 to 30 September 2022.
• Three proposed Temporary Restricted Areas using existing MATS guidelines.
• The utilisation of a vertically split series of two TRAs to allow for select light commercial aircraft to safely operate in parallel with launch activity.
• The implementation of multiple TRA activity times, managed by Airservices Australia (‘Airservices’), to maintain safe airspace use and minimise the effect of launch operations on other airspace users.
