Airservices Australia plans SE corridor for Bankstown
New video
• 11/19/2025For those who have been privy to the planning process..... IYKYK!
| 00:00 - 00:05 | So GA said "Hey! We need a Class G lane... |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | ...to exit the Bankstown control zone." |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | So we proposed a two way Class G lane through Waterfall |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | and urged industry to provide feedback to facilitate it |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | They rejected it on safety concerns |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Safety! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Safety! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | They were worried they were going to hit someone! |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | ! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | So we came back with a controlled airspace alternative for their protection |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | Class D and overlying Class C |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Class D LL 1000 and Class C LL 1500! |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | Different controllers! |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Different frequencies! |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Told them to monitor both... |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | ...just in case! |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | and then... |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | they get spit out of Class D at 700' AGL |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | over tiger country! |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | ...and they were worried about collision risk! |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | The lane is 3.5nm wide and 4.5 long |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | They're in there for 3 mins at best! |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | They asked, when will this happen? |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | We said, we've missed the cut-off date for June 2026 chart publication |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | We'll have to put out an AIC for June 26 |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | Make them use paper charts... |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | All these idiots use EFBs! |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | ...following the magenta line |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | The airspace won't be displayed on their ipads until November 2026! |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | November! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | 5 months! |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | They'll have no idea! |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | They'll get airborne, |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | ...and have their heads in the cockpit for at least 5 mins! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | Three frequency changes in 5 mins, following an imaginary line up against the Sydney CTR |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Is the Sydney boundary close? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Less than a mile! |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | We've gvien them room so they can turn around... |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | ... in case they hit IMC. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | We had to give POLAIR and TOLL rescue some room |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Are they in there as well? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | They're operating in accordance with existing Letters of Agreement |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | Why would we make their lives difficult? |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | They're professional pilots |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | an AIC... |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Paper charts! |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | This is best "band-aid" fix we've ever done! |
