Update to Melbourne VFR Lane Altitudes

Airspace changes that came into effect on 8 November for the Melbourne Port Philip Bay VFR route have now been modified.

The new procedure recommends:
  • Between Point Ormond and Laverton BOM tower, fly eastbound at 1500 feet and westbound at 2000 feet
  • Between Point Ormond and Carrum, fly southbound at 1500 feet and northbound at 2500 feet.
The changes are published in SUP H132/18, but an officially amended VTC will not be provided to Australian pilots until the May 2019 update. This is why in the interest of safety we have taken the unprecedented step to modify the Melbourne VTC Inset to reflect the SUP changes..

How to get the updated maps






In Settings > Downloads > Australia you will find the updated Hybrid VFR and Moorabbin Inset available. Until you download these, the previous downloaded version will still be used. After downloading you may need to switch to a different map and then back to Hybrid VFR to view the new version.We hope the swift release of this update will benefit the safety of those flying in the Melbourne area.
