Hobart Airspace Design Review

Airservices has been progressing the recommended actions identified through the Post Implementation Review (PIR). The status of each recommended action is available to view here https://engage.airservicesaustralia.com/46094/widgets/319381/documents/245468.

We are progressing the recommended actions for community and industry suggested flight path alternatives as two separate packages of work.

A new project page has been created on Engage Airservices https://engage.airservicesaustralia.com/hobart-community to provide you with ongoing updates on the delivery of these two packages of work. Please subscribe to this new page to continue receiving updates on this project.

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.
