No-Fly Zones around controlled aerodromes
The Manual of Standards (MOS) Part 101 depicts no-fly zones and approach and departure paths around controlled (and uncontrolled) aerodromes. The no-fly zone of a controlled aerodrome means any areas and airspace that are below 400 ft and:
within 3 NM, in any direction, from the measurement point of any runway a controlled aerodrome; or
within the approach and departure paths referred to in section 4.05, whether or not they extend beyond 3 NM, in any direction, from the measurement point of any runway of the controlled aerodrome. (MOS Part 101 Chapter 4).
All applications for operations within the 'no-fly zones' of a controlled aerodrome or above 400FT within controlled airspace must be forwarded to the CASA RPAS Office in the first instance. Where automated airspace authorisations are available, these can be applied for via a CASA-verified Drone Safety App. Visit 'Flying drones/remotely piloted aircraft in Australia' (www.casa.gov.au) for more information.
From late 2025 automated airspace authorisations will be available for operations within 3nm of 28 civil controlled aerodromes through a USS connected to FIMS.
Due to the nature of the operation and/or proximity to the aerodrome, some applications may be rejected or only approved subject to restrictions of, but not limited to, geographic lateral limits, vertical (altitude) limits, a specific time block and specific communication requirements.
