Good morning s47F
Thank you for your email and submission.
Your feedback will contribute to the overall community feedback from the Hobart Airspace Design
Review proposed design consultations which, when completed, will be provided in a report on the
Airservices website.
Have a safe festive season.
Regards

Hello s47F and Airservices
s47F I understand that you are coordinating the public consultation for this review and
that Airservices is also receiving submissions.
The Australian Airline Pilots’ Association (AusALPA) is the Member Association for Australia
and a key member of the International Federation of Airline Pilot Associations (IFALPA)
which represents over 100,000 pilots in 100 countries. We represent more than 7,500
professional pilots within Australia on safety and technical matters. Our membership
places a very strong expectation of rational, risk and evidence-based safety behaviour on
our government agencies and processes and we regard our participation in the work of the
Australia’s safety-related agencies as essential to ensuring that our policy makers get the
best of independent safety and technical advice.
AusALPA welcomes the opportunity to contribute feedback to the consultation for the
Hobart Airspace Design Review. We believe that this review provides some positive steps
forward and we'd like to take this opportunity to provide you with our previous feedback
on this topic. Please see the attached proposal originally discussed at the TAS RAPAC
meeting in April 2018. This proposal was developed prior to knowledge of SIDs and STARs
being designed for the north eastern tracks.
Whilst we understand that a significant reason for this current review grew from noise
related complaints and community discontent, we believe that our earlier proposals and
requests are not in conflict with these community concerns, but rather, provide support for
them.
We note that the current proposal briefly mentions the introduction of Visual Terminations
from STARS along with visual arrival options. This is a positive step which can help
spread the noise foot-print too. Furthermore, the introduction of SIDs and STARs to link
the routes to/from the north east (SYD, BNE & GC) are also positive improvements for
noise issues, environmental matters (likely reduced fuel burns) and time savings. The
carful considerations to avoid sensitive sites and to remain over water as much as possible
are positive improvement. As long as altitude constraints don't pose a problem, we
currently don't envisage any real issues with the proposed flight paths.
AusALPA has previously offered to participate in meetings to progress initiatives and
consultation on this topic. In fact at the April TAS RAPAC meeting Airservices agreed
that this would be a good idea however to date, no such meeting has been arranged. We
have periodically followed this up with Airservices personnel but no progress has been
achieved yet. AusALPA remains willing and able to provide input and we encourage
Airservices to engage further on this topic.
Kind regards
s47F
