5. When to broadcast?
CAR 166C requires a pilot to make a broadcast whenever it is reasonably necessary to avoid a collision, or the risk of a collision, with another aircraft at or in the vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome.

6. Recommended Broadcasts (Ref: CAAP 166-1(3))

7. Definition: In the vicinity (Ref Car 166)
An aircraft is in the vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome if it is within:
airspace other than controlled airspace;
a horizontal distance of 10 NM from the aerodrome (reference point); and
a height above the aerodrome (reference point) that could result in conflict with operations at the aerodrome.

8. Adjacent Aerodromes Edinburgh – military (118.3)
Lyndoch – helicopters & LSA (126.7)
Roland Flat – LSA, GA, parachuting, models (126.7)
CTAF areas overlap Gawler CTAF (126.55)
When flying in our area what frequency for broadcasts and listening watch?

26. Proposed Airspace Changes
Barossa Broadcast Area

27. OAR Recommendations
Defence should reassess the airspace volumes, in particular R265B, by the end 2018 to ensure continued suitability. Where practicable, Defence should continue to pursue options to optimise the use of RAs with a view to disestablishing RAs which are no longer required.
The Gawler operators, with the support of Defence, should submit an Airspace Change Proposal to enlarge the western boundary of R233A-B adjacent to the Gawler circuit area and to remove the irregular north-western boundary of R233A-B.
