The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), in conjunction with Airservices Australia (Airservices), is proposing to reclassify a portion of airspace southeast of Bankstown Airport. This reclassification will allow more aircraft flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to utilise the airspace southeast of Bankstown airport.
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is a method of flying commonly used by helicopters and light aircraft where the pilot uses visual reference to the ground or water to navigate their flight.
This would enhance safety, reduce congestion, and provide more equitable access to airspace around Bankstown Airport.
For the latestinformation on the proposed changes please refer to the project updates section below.
