Ah yes; remember this happening a few (10+) years ago at Tamworth, some **** telling aircraft to 'go around' when they had landing clearance and were on (very) short final......
turned out to be a 16 year old d!ickhead who lived adjacent the airport, had a fixation with flying and owned a hand-held transceiver.

News today in Perth said a 19 y.o. bloke busted in a surveillance op at a shopping centre (?) with a handheld of some type.
Been charged with interfering with aircraft transmission/navigation (or similar), making fraudulent radio transmissions and intent to prejudice aircraft safety (whatever that means
) No mention of fines or jail time. Wonder what penalty will get handed down?
Hope they get the little good (rather than a slap on the wrist as is all too common these days); it ain't smart & it ain't funny....

West Australian 27/3
A 19 year old Lynwood man has been arrested by Australian Federal Police for making bogus radio transmissions to pilots and air traffic control at Perth airport.
AFP agents will allege the man made a number of hoax transmissions on March 22 and March 23.
He was arrested late on Thursday after a surveillance operation at a shopping centre carpark.
The man has been charged with using a transmitter in a way likely to interfere with radio communications, knowing such interference was likely to prejudice the safe operation of an aircraft, under the Radio Communications Act 1992.
Federal agents will allege some of the transmissions contained threats to the safety of aircraft, and calls impersonating pilots asked for clearances to enter controlled air space, for landings and to cross active runways.
Air Services Australia spokesman David Gray said commercial pilots had recognised the caller as an imposter, ignored his instructions and alerted air traffic control, which had changed frequencies.
The man will appear in Perth Magistrate's Court on March 30.
I'm off next week so might wander into town for some courtroom enertainment. Can anyone suggest how to identify by the court listings which beak this pest is likely to front?

Should be in Mondays West. Depending on where he was sprung, it could be at CLC in the Terace, Midland, Armidate or perhaps they have the Federal Magistrates Crt going at Vic Ave. It will have to be listed in the court notices anyway. May be hard to find without a name though, have not heard of that being released yet.
Wasn't a sprog? So it would then be in the Childrens Crt.

Usually the Perth Magistrates Court will only sit in one building. Unless the name was mentioned in the news article, you won't be able to tell from the callover list that appears in the paper which court he will appear in.
In the Court building foyer, there will be a list detailing defendants names' court room numbers' and the offence(s) that the person is appearing for.
My suggestion is to attend the building, seek out the list, read the offences and work out from that where he is.
It is usual for one court being used as a callover court or bail/arrest court where matters are mentioned for the first time, and where police bail is converted to court bail .. on the other hand look for the gaggle of journo's and ride their tailcoats .. it'd be unliike them to know not where the bloke is appearing ..
For info, federal matters can be heard in the magistrates court, but a federal DPP prosecutor will handle the matter in place of a state or police prosecutor.

The sh1ithead is lucky he was only charged under the Radio Communication Act. Under s192 of that Act, he could be put away for a maximum of 5 years.
If he was charged under the Crimes (Aviation) Act, he could end up in gaol for up to 14 years (section 19).

G'day Voice,
Thanks for the advice.
I will head into St Georges Tce tomorrow and see if I can find the case on the listings.
Probably won't amount to much anyway. If he is called to plea and goes guilty then it will probably be adjourned for quite a while for sentencing.
Send memo to self to not let anyone play with my Icom handheld

hiya IJ glad to be of assistance!
If you can't decipher the list, head over to the registry and ask them to help you work out who/where ..
I'd be very surprised if he was asked to plead guilty on the 1st mention .. but it is possible.
Perhaps you'd be so kind to post the result(s) of your expedition here ..
NAMPS is there much differing in the points of proof between the two sections/acts? In any case the penalties are max's and you and I both know that the max. is hardly ever meted out for (and I'm assuming this) a young person without any prior like offending ..
Be interesting to hear the full facts, and not just those reported in the West!

Teen hoax radio charges
March 30, 2004
A TEENAGER has made a brief appearance in a Perth court after being charged with making hoax radio transmissions to aircraft and the control tower at Perth airport.
Scott Bradley Pike, 19, from the southern suburb of Lynwood, was arrested by Australian Federal Police (AFP) agents last week after conducting a surveillance operation at a local shopping centre.
At Perth magistrate's court this morning, Pike was not required to plead to one charge of using a transmitter in a way likely to interfere with radio communications.
The AFP will allege Pike made a number of bogus transmissions on radio control frequencies over two days earlier this month.
The transmissions were allegedly purported to be from aircraft seeking clearances to enter controlled airspace, land, and cross active runways
Federal agents will also allege some transmissions contained threats to the safety of the aircraft.
Magistrate Terrance McIntyre bailed Pike to appear in court again in three weeks.

The Voice I recently had a case in the West run by a Commonwealth Agency (in respect of a federal offence) in a WA state court. Basically the procedural aspects are governed by state law.
My understanding is, if he pleads guilty at the first opportunity, then he will automatically get 2/3 off any sentence he would otherwise have received.
As for the difference between the two Acts. It's interesting to note that the Crimes (Aviation) Act provides "absolute liability applies to the physical element of circumstance of the offence"
As you would know, there is no requirement to prove intent for absolute liability. It is only necessary to prove he did the act of endangering aircraft (ie transmit bogus calls).
The Radio Communication Act requires proof of intent.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
