Hobart Airspace Design Review

On 7 November 2019, Airservices introduced new instrument flight procedures and flight paths at Hobart Airport.

For information on current aircraft operations visit our interactive Aircraft in Your Neighbourhood website here.

As these flight paths have now been operating for 12 months we have commenced a Post Implementation Review (PIR).

The objectives of the PIR are to:

1. Validate the assumptions and forecast noise levels in the Airservices Environmental Impact Assessments of the final design, high level routes and VOR procedures against actual aircraft movement data
2. Review community information to ensure it reflects the most up to date information regarding the use of the flight paths, procedures, routes and actual aircraft noise levels
3. Identify opportunities to minimise the impact of aircraft operations on the community
4. Provide stakeholders with the opportunity to submit flight path alternatives including amendments to Noise Abatement Procedures (NAPs).

As part of the PIR we have installed short-term noise monitors to collect aircraft noise data to assist in this analysis.
