What's the big deal?

It's a restricted area below 3,000ft. Simply don't fly over the Restricted Area below 3,000ft. I'm waiting for someone to complain about Millennials feeling "entitled", and then whinging about not being able to fly thru Restricted Areas.

According to Schedule 3 it's the only 'Environmental" Restricted Area in Australia.

YBBB/R766 MICHAELMAS CAY CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA3
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTED AREA LATERAL LIMITS: A circle of 1.00NM radius centred on
16 36 23S 145 58 22E
VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - 3000
HOURS OF ACTIVITY: H24
CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: GBRMPA

@DickSmith - just as GNSS is a much better replacement for ADFs, ADSB will be a worthwhile upgrade to primary/secondary radar.

Please stop trying to scare people into a frenzy with half-baked claims and make a fact-based analysis.
