The downturn in all aviation activity across Australia and internationally may have a significant impact on the analysis, outcomes and projections used in this report. It is noted that the downturn in aviation into Pilbara region has not been as significant as at aerodromes in the Eastern States due to the fly in fly out (FIFO) resource sector. The Airspace Act 20071 (Act)2 provides the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) with the authority to administer and regulate Australian-administered airspace and authorises CASA to undertake regular reviews of existing airspace arrangements. The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) within CASA has conducted an airspace review within 100 nautical miles (NM) of Coondewanna Airport (Coondewanna). This area is referred to as the Pilbara Region for the purpose of this review. The aim of the Pilbara Region review is to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose.3 The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface up to Fight Level (FL) 180.

  • RASMAG/13 − WP/26 02-05/8/2010 International Civil Aviation Organization the Thirteenth Meeting of the Regional Airspace Safet
    RASMAG/13 − WP/26 02-05/8/2010 International Civil Aviation Organization The Thirteenth Meeting of the Regional Airspace Safety Monitoring Advisory Group (RASMAG/13) Bangkok, Thailand, 02 – 05 August 2010 Agenda Item 5: Airspace safety monitoring activities/requirements in the Asia/Pacific Region UPDATED ANALYSIS OF RVSM APPROVED AIRCRAFT EQUIPAGE OF ADS-B AND ITS POTENTIAL FOR USE AS A HEIGHT-KEEPING MONITORING SYSTEM IN THE AUSTRALIAN FIRs (Presented by Australia) (Prepared by R. Butcher and L. Foden) SUMMARY This paper provides details of an analysis undertaken by the Australian Airspace Monitoring Agency (AAMA) to monitor the current potential in terms of aircraft equipage, for use of ADS-B as a ground- based system for RVSM height-keeping monitoring purposes. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 RASMAG has endorsed the continued joint research project between Airservices Australia and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to validate the use of ADS-B as a means of undertaking height-keeping monitoring. While this activity is being progressed and with encouraging outcomes to date, the Australian Airspace Monitoring Agency (AAMA) is anticipating the use of ADS-B data to fulfil its monitoring obligations post the introduction of long term height monitoring in late 2010. 1.2 The currently implemented Australian ADS-B network provides total coverage of the continental landmass at altitudes above FL280. With the addition of data from the Indonesian ADS-B network, the ability for the AAMA to undertake monitoring of aircraft height keeping over a significant area of the Asia/Pacific region is greatly enhanced. As a result the AAMA has been updating its estimation of the number of aircraft that could potentially be monitored using ADS-B data.

In particular, we note that the article evidences Qantas' strong competitive position in responding to the needs of Australian resource companies and its expansion of capacity in the FIFO sector, both through Network Aviation and Qantaslink. In particular, it highlights the fact that Qantas is currently the only competitor with the ability to provide international, domestic, regional and charter services as required. The proposed Corporate Alliance will enable Virgin Australia and Skywest to also provide an integrated option for resources companies, providing customers with more choice and an improved product. As the Applicants have previously submitted, this will result in significant public benefits. Further, Qantas' aggressive expansion in this sector provides additional support to the Applicants' submission that the Corporate Alliance will not lessen competition in any market. Please let us know if you would like to discuss. Kind regards, Luke I Louise I Wendy Monday 09 .January 201.2 ..

F In the regions, air travel is not a luxury – it is an essential service, akin to buses or trains in the metropolitan area. It sustains communities, provides links to families and friends, facilitates economic activity and affects people’s perceptions about the ‘liveability’ of regional centres. Access to reasonably-priced air travel can be the point of difference between feeling a sense of remoteness or remaining connected.
