Flights in oceanic areas are unable to be tracked using traditional radar as this form of surveillance relies on ground-based sites. Since June 2015 all flights outside of ground based surveillance coverage within Australian administered airspace are being more frequently tracked by air traffic controllers using satellite-based communications equipment called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C). ADS-C enables aircraft…

Airspace is assigned into categories which determine the level of service provided. In Australia, these range from Class A (typically en route, high level airspace) to Class G (uncontrolled airspace predominantly used by light aircraft). More information on classes of airspace is available. The service provided by air traffic controllers depends on the class of…
Air traffic controllers can play a key role in assisting aircraft in distress inside controlled airspace and where there is radar coverage. Many light aircraft operate outside of controlled airspace and radar coverage so depending on the location of the incident, Airservices may not have information or be the first-response agency in the event of…
In Australia, there are two major types of airspace: controlled, and uncontrolled. Controlled airspace in Australia is actively monitored and managed by air traffic controllers. To enter controlled airspace, an aircraft must first gain a clearance from an air traffic controller. Uncontrolled airspace has no supervision by air traffic control so no clearance is required…
Separation standards refer to the minimum distance apart that aircraft operating in controlled airspace and at airports with an operational control tower must be kept. These are outlined in the Manual of Standards for Air Traffic Services and our air traffic controllers use them to safely manage air traffic. Different separation standards apply to aircraft…
