The NAS group published this info last week
A first stage workshop is to be held in Sydney on 11/12 June.
For your information, CASA has advised us that several characteristics will be delayed by the processes to change regulatory material. We intend to proceed with all other activities to achieve their implementation (including examination at safety workshops) as per our original schedule, and implement them as soon as we can achieve the regulatory changes.
Airservices Australia has also offered to introduce ICAO Class D airspace with the 27 November 2003 package as a step towards FAA Class D airspace.
The final list for implementation on 27 November 2003 is:
Merging Target Procedures (#41)
VFR climb and descent in Class D (#46)
Chart simplification (#4)
Class A realignment (#8)
Class C enroute and OCA removal (#10)
Class E rollout (#20) plus interim base of FL180 non-radar (#44)
E steps to adjoin Class D towers (#22)
Transponder requirements (#2)
FAA CTAF (#29) (see note below)
ICAO Class D airspace (#47)
The following characteristics are affected by regulatory change delays and will be implemented as soon as regulatory processes can be completed.
We will provide you with further advice on timing as soon as it is clear.
Target resolution (#42)
Danger Area to Alert Area (#36)
Visual separation (#43)
Note: FAA CTAF (#29) needs a regulatory change regarding
straight-in approaches.
The NASIG intends to implement FAA CTAF on 27 November
with a restriction on straight-in approaches and later remove
this restriction as soon as the regulatory change procedures
can be completed. The change will then align fully with the FAA CTAF model.
We will provide information for the second workshop (25-26 June)
closer to that date.
does not seem much like consultation to me!
no mention of education as yet either
