    The Defence Directorate of Operations and Training Area Management Northern Territory (DOTAM NT) is requesting a change to an established danger area (DA).

    The issue

    DA D213 Robertson Barracks is currently not active at times that night activities are required to be conducted.

    Purpose

    DOTAM NT requests feedback on a proposed change to DA D213 Robertson Barracks hours of activation.

    D213 is a published DA that currently activates during hours of day light only (HJ). This proposal seeks to amend D213 hours of activation to H24, enabling elements of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and partner nations to conduct night activities to meet training outcomes.

    No change to Visual Flight Rules (VFR) routes, air traffic management or instrument flight procedures.

    No restrictions will be imposed on VFR flights.

    No change to the published lateral and vertical limits of D213.

    The proposed change, hours of activity from HJ to H24:

    • YBBB/D213 ROBERTSON BARRACKS RIFLE RANGE
      • VERTICAL LIMITS: Surface to 1100FT
      • LATERAL LIMITS: 122516S 1305916E, 122531S 1305906E, 122538S 1305905E, 122632S 1305918E, 122649S 1305934E, 122651S 1305947E, 122639S 1310007E, 122552S 1310036E, 122545S 1310037E, 122528S 1310033E, 122515S 1305955E, 122516S 1305916E
      • HOURS OF ACTIVITY: H24
      • CONTACT: Army range control officer Robertson Barracks.
