November Deadline Date Set for Introduction of New Airspace Structure
After some three years of investigation, consultation, and deliberation, the newAustralian Airspace Structure is finally to come into effect on November 11 this year.
To achieve this, a radar chain extending from Cairns around the eastern seaboard, plus Perth with its own radar, will provide secondary radar coverage down to 5000ft.

However, as discussed later, all aircraft in that airspace will require to be transponder equipped otherwise they will not be seen.
