Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument creates a no-fly zone (called Restricted Area R352) over Australian Army live firing ranges in Victoria (near the Puckapunyal military training area).

What it does:

Bans aircraft from entering a specific block of airspace during weekdays without special permission
Operating hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time only
Height limit: From ground level up to 3,000 feet above sea level
Geographic area: Defined by specific GPS coordinates covering the military range

How to enter: Pilots must obtain permission from the Department of Defence (Army) and get an air traffic control clearance. Entry is prohibited without both approvals.

Why it matters: This keeps aircraft safe from live ammunition and artillery fire during military training exercises. It is a permanent restriction published in aviation charts (the Designated Airspace Handbook).
