Temporary Danger Area at Albury Aerodrome (YMAY) for Non-Towered Hours (relative to ERSA)

In accordance with its functions under section 11 of the Airspace Act 2007, the OAR has determined that a Class D ATC service is to be provided at YMAY during the following hours as promulgated in ERSA:

• MON-FRI 2015-1030 UTC
• SAT 2300-0700 UTC
• SUN 2300-1030 UTC

NB All times one hour earlier during daylight savings.

Ongoing staffing limitations at YMAY ATC tower have resulted in variations to the provision of air traffic services.

To increase awareness amongst pilots of the potential dangers present, the OAR intends to declare a TDA encompassing the Class D airspace managed by YMAY tower during those periods when tower services would ordinarily be available, but will in fact not be. It is proposed that the TDA is active from 1600 UTC 7 March 2023, subject to stakeholder feedback. A draft NOTAM (to be raised on the Melbourne FIR) is provided below for reference.
