Just to clear things up...
Hi all. God it is hot here at the moment. Anyway....
RENURPP, the Darwin airspace managed by the RAAF goes out to 60NM up to FL200. Actually, the RAAF owns up to the moon over Darwin but it is a 'permenant release' to Brizzy Centre. Just out of curiosity, why do you think AsA would be better than the RAAF? I know that AsA would implement traffic management plans immediately which would see most IFR flights tracking via 15 mile finals. At the moment, it is a 360 degree free for all. What do you fly and how often into Darwin?
Zarg, glad to hear the rumour mill is still working. Yeah, the AsA thing has been tossed up of recently, but I think the RAAF wants to hang onto YPDN for the time being. Lots of interesting times ahead though, AsA recruiting, Rhodes review, ATC retention allowance review etc etc.... Next month should be eye opening...
Cheers,
NFR.
