The flying activity schedule is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control, weather and other aviation considerations. Keep an eye on Roulettes socials for updates.

Safety, noise management and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of Defence flying activities. Participating aircraft will operate with a view to minimising the impact on the local communities.

Members of the public can access further information regarding aircraft noise at https://www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise/, or by calling 1300 333 362.

The best viewing position will be east of Ballarat airport in the industrial estate along Soho, Nettles and Discovery Roads and Assembly Avenue.
