Media note
Low-level flying activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.
Flying is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control requirements, weather, and operational availability.
Noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of military flying. Information on aircraft noise and current flying activities is available at www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise or by calling 1300 DEFENCE (1300 333 362).
Drone flying is prohibited prior to and during the flypasts and flying displays because of the dangers this poses to low-flying aircraft.
