Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this means

This legal direction changes how a specific military airspace zone (Restricted Area R587B) operates.

Key changes

Flexible activation: The restricted area will no longer have fixed operating hours. Instead, it will be activated by NOTAM (Notice to Airmen). This is a safety message system that alerts pilots when airspace conditions change.
Who controls it: The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) manages the area.
Entry rules: You cannot fly through this zone without explicit permission from the RAAF and a clearance from air traffic control.

Why this matters

This gives the military flexibility to use the airspace for training or operations only when needed, rather than blocking it off on a fixed schedule. Civilian pilots must check for NOTAMs before flying near this area to see if it is currently active.
