YMMB Notams

[tmpffisch]

Hi Guys

Could someone explain something for me. Why isn't this located in YMMB's NOTAMS when it occurs at an inbound reporting point? Could possibly be on ATIS instead?


C3324/09
HOT AIR LANTERN RELEASE 6NM SSE MOORABBIN AD
PSN S38 04.01 E145 07.02 (CARRUM VICTORIA)
TWO RELEASES OF 200 AND 400 LANTERNS OF SEVERAL GRAMS EACH.
WIND CONDITONS PERMITTING
SFC TO 4000FT AGL
FROM 05 160820 TO 05 161100

Technically as the activity is outside the MB CTR, issuing as Melbourne FIR is correct, particularly as checking both location and FIR NOTAMs is required for flight.

If only issued as Moorabbin, those not entering the CTR wouldn't know about it.

It probably should have been issued as both Moorabbin and Melbourne FIR.

Whether it was put on the ATIS as well is a call for MB ATC.

Perhaps because the NOTAM was only Melbourne FIR, they didn't know about it either :)

So do I have this right?
Despite the recent bushfires someone wants to release 600 incendiary devices to the wind to see what happens.
Is that the plan?

With the weather the way it's been here lately, it would take more than a candle to start a fire.
