    Launch preparation and test will all be conducted on the launch pad (centred on coordinates 19.9581° south 148.1136° east) of the spaceport.

    Purpose

    Launch preparation and test will all be conducted on the launch pad (centred on coordinates 19.9581° south 148.1136° east) of the spaceport and will introduce risks of failure modes that could create blast overpressure effects and a debris field.  Gilmour proposes the establishment of a permanent restricted area (RA), activated by Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), to exclude all aircraft from this risk.

    Submission of an advisory Aviation State Engagement Forum (AvSEF) paper notifying the continuation of the activity within the airspace dimensions over the new 3-month time period and to consult NOTAMs for activation timings.
