News on Airspace Files

Unfortunately the R265 airspace will be active (RAAF) for at least 12-16 Jan (the last week of the comp). This wasn’t the case at the competition in Jan 2014. Also the boundary of R265D is closer to Waikerie after the boundary realignment in May 2014 so this will have a bigger impact.

This significantly complicates the airspace. We could task to the east, however it would be a shame if it was a cracker day over the hills and we couldn’t use it. It is likely that we will be able to negotiate for a portion of R265C and R265D to be released for gliding (known as the Clare release).

So there are three airspace files (under the rules referred to as the competition area boundary since they include buffers).

·         Comp Area 1 is the boundary at the start of the comp (and the practice period).

·         Comp Area 2 is the boundary when R265 is active.

·         Comp Area 3 is the boundary when R265 is active and we have a Clare release (assuming a release to FL125).

The plan is to brief which file is applicable for the day at the daily briefing and include it on the task sheet.

All three airspace files are available on the Blogsite "Documents" section.
