Arrival and tracking – From the West

Inbound tracking to Gold Coast from the west is usually via Beechmont or Springbrook. Caution is required due Canungra restricted areas R634 (A & B). It is the pilot’s responsibility to check and monitor the status of the restricted areas. Pilots are also advised to exercise caution when flying over this terrain and have contingencies in case of adverse weather, and suitable landing areas in case of emergencies.

Pilots are reminded to contact Brisbane Centre to obtain squawk code prior to obtaining airways clearance from Gold Coast tower.
