considered the Ballina broadcast area to be running with unsustainably high workload “due to
multiple aircraft taxiing, arriving and departing, mostly without flight plans and mostly not in

Aircraft included:
• Helicopter (VFR) - no flight plan, not in surveillance.
• Ultralight (VFR) - no flight plan, not in surveillance.
• Ultralight (VFR) - no flight plan, not in surveillance.
• Qantas B737 (IFR) - outbound.
• Virgin B737 (IFR) - inbound.
• Helicopter (VFR) - no flight plan, not in surveillance.
• Citation jet (IFR) - initially not in surveillance
He's only providing traffic. That's just an old time busy AFIZ (run without any surveillance) FFS
