A single Royal Australian Air Force F-35A Lightning II aircraft from No. 77 Squadron will conduct a single circuit over Coffs Harbour airport, NSW.
DATE: Wednesday 15 September
TIME: Between 10.30am – 11.30am
LOCATION: Coffs Harbour airport, New South Wales
Please note that this is a training activity, not a scheduled flypast or display, and will proceed at the unit’s discretion, when conditions are best suited to meeting their capability objectives.
The single F-35A will conduct a single circuit over water to the east of Coffs Harbour airport, before continuing on to RAAF Base Williamtown.
Coffs Harbour is a divert airfield for F-35A aircraft and the training is designed to help familiarise local air traffic control with F35 operations and safety requirements.
Diversion training is an essential part of fast jet training, to enable pilots to land at secondary airfields.
Please note: Flying schedules are subject to change due to variables such as air traffic control requirements, weather, and other aviation considerations.
Noise reduction and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of military flying.
