3B Directions for notional restricted areas and notional danger areas
(1) The declarations in this instrument designating areas of Australian territory to be restricted areas or danger areas are supplemented with directions under regulation 11.245 of CASR.
(2) The directions require relevant areas outside Australian territory in Australian‑administered airspace (directed areas) to be treated, in accordance with this instrument, as if they were notional restricted areas, or notional danger areas, as the case requires.
(3) For the directed areas, the directions also require that, if the air traffic services (ATS) to be provided for aircraft are at variance with the ATS that would otherwise be provided for that airspace in accordance with Annex 11 to the Chicago Convention, the variance must be published in the AIP or a NOTAM.
Note See also section 7. CASA may direct such variance but only if it were in conformity with the Chicago Convention processes.
