Kurt D - 1178710 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 1. Introduction: 1.1 Elements of RAAFvirtual.org (VSOA) and will be conducting a wide range of military/formation flying exercises in the airspace surrounding RAAFv Base Learmonth. 1.2 Exercise period begins on the 17th April 2017 and will conclude on the 30th April 2017. 1.3 The exercise will involve F/A18, E737, KC30A, C17A, C130/C30J, and PC-9 aircraft operating from RAAFv Base Learmonth. 2. Airspace Activation 2.1 For the period 17th APRIL – 30th APRIL, activity is anticipated for a maximum of one 6 to 7 hour period each day between 0630 and 1300 UTC. 2.2 The following Temporary Modified Restricted and AAR, AEW&C airspace are established at Learmonth (YPLM), and will be activated by NOTAM: a. YPLM/R860A CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA1 (Transit) MILITARY FLYING LATERAL LIMITS: Limits are Setout by airspace outline in Appendix VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - F350 HOURS OF ACTIVITY: NOTAM CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: VATPAC b. YPLM/R860B CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA2 (Transit) MILITARY FLYING LATERAL LIMITS: Limits are Setout by airspace outline in Appendix VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - F350 HOURS OF ACTIVITY: NOTAM CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: VATPAC c. YPLM/R859A CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA1 (Transit) MILITARY FLYING LATERAL LIMITS: Limits are Setout by airspace outline in Appendix VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - F350 HOURS OF ACTIVITY: NOTAM CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: VATPAC d. YPLM/YMR859B CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA1 (Transit) MILITARY FLYING LATERAL LIMITS: Limits are Setout by airspace outline in Appendix VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - F350 HOURS OF ACTIVITY: NOTAM CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: VATPAC e. YPLM/YMR852A CONDITIONAL STATUS: RA2 (Primary) MILITARY FLYING LATERAL LIMITS: Limits are Setout by airspace outline in Appendix VERTICAL LIMITS: SFC - F350 HOURS OF ACTIVITY: NOTAM CONTROLLING AUTHORITY: VATPAC 3. Airspace Activation Timing. 3.1 Major exercise activities are planned to take place as follows: 17 - 30 Apr 17 0630-1300 UTC 4. Flight Planning and Route Limitations. 4.1 All waypoints inside exercise lateral boundaries will be available above FL355 during the exercise. 5. Military Aircraft Operations 5.1 High speed military jet & turboprop aircraft will be on random tracks without communications within all exercise airspace. Traffic information will not be provided to or about exercise aircraft operating in exercise area. (Intentions may be handed to ATC by the flightlead on a flight by flight basis) 5.2 Aircraft operating out of Learmonth (YPLM) will operate on the appropriate CTAF channels when ATC is not online. 5.3 When outside CTAF areas, military aircraft will tune UNICOM until established within active restricted airspace. Upon entering active restricted airspace military aircraft will be virtually NOCOM. (See para 5.4) 5.4 Regardless of the phase of flight, military aircraft will endeavour to monitor UNICOM text (122.800) for mutual separation when ATC is offline. 5.5 The below list outlines the civil frequencies that military aircraft will operate on when outside of restricted airspace. Location Frequency YPLM TWR: 118.30 YPLM APP: 120.50 All Other (UNICOM) 6. Priorities 6.1 During exercise activity periods, access to the exercise airspace may not be available due to high density/high energy military operations. 6.2 Every endeavour will be made to adjust exercise activities and minimize delays to facilitate transit of civil aircraft. 7. Cancellation 7.1 This NOTAM will self-cancel at 30th April 2017 1330hrs UTC. 8. Contacts 8.1 VATPAC Operations Team - [email protected] 8.2 vWGCDR Nathan Noble - RAAFv - [email protected] 9.
