Gliding Federation to object to Class E Proposal 2 February 2021
The Gliding Federation of Australia (GFA) yesterday sent a letter to members saying they will not be supporting Airservices Australia s low-level Class E proposal.
Airservices Australia has put in a proposal to lower the 8500-foot Class E airspace base between Cairns and Melbourne to 1500 feet AGL, a move that would eradicate most of the Class G airspace on the eastern seaboard.
The proposal has been given a very short consultation period and has not been accompanied by a safety case, which–along with the prospect of losing Class G–has raised the ire of many stakeholder groups.
