Hi Jimp

We acknowledge receipt of your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) on 10 November 2024 and note that your request has been given the internal file reference FOI 24-81.

Your FOI scope requested the following:

- The audio of the arrival of AAL7 into Brisbane Airport on 28 October 2024. I am requesting all audio from all frequencies handling this flight.

Unless you advise otherwise, drafts, duplicate documents and the personal information of Airservices+IBk- staff (e.g. names, contact details, position titles, signatures) will be excluded from the scope of your request under section 22(1)(b)(ii) of the FOI Act.

The statutory period for processing your request is 30 calendar days commencing from the day after the request was received, in this case the due date for our decision is: Tuesday 10 December 2024.

However, if your request captures documents that contains information concerning the business, commercial or financial affairs of another organisation or individual (third party), Airservices is required to consult with these third parties concerned before deciding on the release of those documents (see section 27 of the FOI Act).

If consultation is undertaken with any third party, the initial 30-day period for processing your request will be extended by a further 30 calendar days (see section 15(6) of the FOI Act). We will provide further notification in writing if it is determined that consultation is required.

Kind regards
Saira.

Dear Jimp

We are currently processing your FOI request 24-81 and are hoping you can assist by responding to the two (2) queries below.

1. Please confirm the scope of your request which Airservices' has interpreted as follows:

You are seeking the segment of audio for American Airlines AAL7 that starts with the Brisbane(BN) Approach and tower frequencies through to landing for 28 October 2024.

2. Please confirm that you are happy for Airservices to remove non-related transmissions from the audio. Airservices removes non-related transmissions (e.g. other aircraft noise or radio, unrelated ATC coordination captured in background of recording etc.) under s.22 of the FOI Act because they are not within scope of your FOI request and notes that this has the added benefit of increasing audibility for the listener.

If possible, we would appreciate a response to these queries by COB Wednesday, 4 December 2024.

Kind regards
Kathryn
