Compilation No. 2.

Designation of airspace for broadcast requirements — aerodromes with certified air/ground radio services

2 Designation of broadcast areas

 Each area of airspace within the horizontal and vertical limits defined for the area (a designated area) in Schedule 1 is designated as an area in which broadcast requirements apply.

3 Direction of broadcast requirements

 The broadcast requirements mentioned in Schedule 2 apply in each designated area.

4 Direction of radio frequencies

 Broadcasts in a designated area must be made on the radio frequency mentioned in Schedule 3 for the area.

Schedule 1 Limits of areas of airspace in which broadcast requirements apply

1 Horizontal limits

 (1) In this Schedule, the horizontal limits of a designated area are defined as a circle with a radius of a stated length in nautical miles centred on a specified point.

 (2) If horizontal limits of a designated area are defined as mentioned in subclause (1), the circumference of the circle makes up the horizontal limits of the area.

2 Vertical limits

 (1) In this Schedule, the vertical limits of a designated area are defined as any height above the designated aerodrome at which an aircraft may conflict with another aircraft that is arriving, departing, or carrying out local operations, at the aerodrome.

3 Designated areas

 YAYE/AYERS ROCK

  Horizontal limits: a circle of 20.0NM radius centred on

  25 11 10S 130 58 32E (YAYE/AD)

  Vertical limits: ground level to any height above the designated aerodrome at which an aircraft may conflict with another aircraft that is arriving, departing, or carrying out local operations, at the aerodrome.

 YBNA/BALLINA/BYRON GATEWAY

  Horizontal limits: a circle of 10.0NM radius centred on

  28 50 02S 153 34 45E (YBNA/AD)

  Vertical limits: ground level to 8 500 feet above mean sea level.

(a) immediately after the aircraft enters the area, make a broadcast that includes the following information:

 (i) the aircraft’s callsign and type;

 (ii) the aircraft’s radial, bearing or quadrant from, and distance from, the aerodrome at which the pilot proposes to land;

 (iii) the aircraft’s altitude;

 (iv) the pilot’s intentions in relation to the flight; and

(b) if and when the aircraft joins the circuit, make a broadcast that consists of:

 (i) the aircraft’s callsign and type; and

 (ii) a statement that the aircraft is joining the circuit; and

 (iii) the segment in which the aircraft is joining the circuit; and

(c) if the pilot intends to make a straight in approach to the landing runway, make a prior broadcast of that intention.

3 Aircraft taking off from an aerodrome in a designated area

  The pilot in command of an aircraft who is taxiing for take-off from the aerodrome must:

(a) when starting to taxi, make a broadcast that includes the following information:

 (i) the aircraft’s callsign and type;

 (ii) if the proposed flight is to be conducted under the I.F.R. — a statement to that effect;

 (iii) the name of the aerodrome;

 (iv) either:

(A) the proposed flight’s intended destination; or

(B) the direction in which the pilot intends to fly from the aerodrome;

 (v) the runway proposed to be used for take-off; and

(b) immediately before entering the runway to be used for take-off, make a broadcast that consists of:

 (i) the aircraft’s callsign and type; and

 (ii) the runway identifier; and

 (iii) a statement that the aircraft is entering the runway.

Schedule 3 Radio frequencies

Note to CASA 490/05 – Designation of airspace for broadcast requirements – aerodromes with certified air/ground radio services
