We have been informed by Airservices that our approval for 1000ft has been revoked until Airservices amends the SID (Souther Instrument Departure) routes.
Please note carefully the following information received from TMAA:
The following is a list of all the TMAA registered sites with their respective ceiling heights as directed by CASA. Heights are given in feet above ground level (agl)
| CLUB | LOCATION | CEILING | |
| Launceston Model Aero Club: | Symmons Plains | Strictly 400ft | |
| Phoenix Flyers of Launceston: | Panshanger | 1000ft | |
| All Sailplanes and Electric Aeromodellers of Tasmania sites: | strictly 400ft | ||
| Northwest Aeromodellers: | Heighclere and Sprent sites: | unlimited | |
| Don Heads | 1000ft | ||
| Frogmore Lane | 1000ft | ||
| Hobart Model Aircraft Club: | Kellyfield | strictly 400ft | |
LMAC, HMAC and SEAT sites are restricted to 400 ft because of their proximity to their local airports and also all these sites are under approaches to their local airports.
If the height restrictions are ignored at these sites CASA could request them to be closed down so it’s up to all members to respect CASA’s height restrictions at not only these but all state sites. We (the operators of model aircraft) will be held responsible for any infringements reported by operators of full-sized aircraft.
