This ministerial direction requires Airservices Australia (AA) to provide an operating air traffic control (ATC) tower and an approach radar service at any airport where, at commencement, a volume of airspace above Class D had been Class E and AA later reclassifies that volume to Class C. The obligation applies when AA performs its s.8 function of providing facilities and services and is triggered by AA's own reclassification decision (Direction, cl.4; Air Services Act s.8, s.16).
