Department of Defence requesting airspace alteration to lateral and vertical dimensions of R352 airspace for RPAS operations.
The issue
Defence plans on conducting Shadow RPAS / UAS flying training at the Puckapunyal Army base. This new airspace is an extended version of existing R352 and increase in altitude to 4 000’ useable by Shadow, therefore airspace activated to 5 000’ AMSL. It is expected that operations to the south and west of Mangalore may be affected by the proposed changes.
Aerobatic operations above Mangalore AD as described in ERSA may be affected.
Altitudes do not affect controlled airspace
Mangalore instrument approach operations
Air route W477 if used for low level flights outside controlled airspace
Respondents are encouraged to CC their State convenor or other interested parties on their consultation response where appropriate. The proponent is the recipient of submissions, not CASA or other AvSEF (formerly RAPAC) stakeholders.
