Airspace Infringement: Hotspots North

  1. Airspace Infringement Hotspot R634A — Canungra Army Firing Range

    Overfly above 3800 ft (if R634B is not active).

    Caution: R634B extends up to 8500 ft and is activated by NOTAM. To transit around, track north-east of Eagle Heights to pick up the VFR route at Nerang or vice versa.

    Caution: Low level CTA steps south of Nerang — clearance will be necessary.

  2. Airspace Infringement Hotspot Inland VFR route

    Preferred route is via the inland VFR route. Robina landmarks are sports stadium and railway station, located north of town centre.

  3. Airspace Infringement Hotspot Gold Coast Control Zone

    Get your code early from Brisbane Centre 119.5. Make your clearance request in plenty of time before the step—the marked VFR entry points are close to the CTR boundary. Clearance coastal is less likely to be available.

  4. Airspace Infringement Hotspot Amberley Military Control Zone

    When AMB is not active, Class C lower limit over AMB is 4500 ft (30 nm BN).

    The Amberley military control zone lies just 8 nm west of Archerfield. Clearance is required to transit the area when active. Tracking outbound, avoid the inbound reporting point of Goodna. Track north-west to Lake Manchester or south-west to Spring Mountain. Request clearance through Amberley Delivery (134.6) in plenty of time before reaching the control zone boundary.
