Williamtown Airspace
I realise I have done this all before, but just to let you know, the "war in the air" continues.
Dear Flt Cdr,
Once again I am driven to write to the ADF concerning airspace changes that are not authorised under Australian law. The rule of law so often quoted by our senior politicians.
In the above AVSEF request for feedback you make certain statements that are not, and create airspace that is not, allowed under the Airspace Act, Regulations or the current Airspace Policy Statement (Barnaby Joyce; 19 Nov 2021)
I will not quote the detail from the Act and other documents, I am sure you have read them, and for purposes unknown, decided to ignore the words authorised by the Federal Parliament.
Specifically you refer to:
The restricted airspace at 3, R574 A - D, appears, in large part to be outside of Australia's territorial waters, is therefore illegal. CASA has in existence a published aeronautical document (AIC H08/23) stating that such airspace is not recognised, cannot be enforced, but then ordering Australian pilots and companies (including Airservices) to recognise the airspace.
Yours Sincerely
Geoff Fairless

Being Easter doubt there would be anyone other than the gate guard at the base, I look forward to a reply mid next week

1. Defence have used a misnomer but they are trying to describe the service that will be provided to civil aircraft as per AIP ENR 1.4 para 1.5.2
2. Defence can't be blamed for using the same terminology as in AIP ENR 1.4 para 1.3.1
3. Think you will find that R574 will be renamed and published as a MOA when it finally arrives on 30 November.
