Changes to the 3 NM no-fly zone around aerodromes....

This is not the most recent news, but just in case you missed it...

The latest MOS depicts a change in the way the 3 nm NFZ is measured. The 3 NM is now '3 NM, in any direction, from the measurement point of any runway.'
It used to be 3 NM from the ADs movement area.

In effect the measurement is taken as a 3 NM radius from the centre-line of the threshold at either end of the runway. See the diagram below for a non-controlled AD.

Also note that the latest MOS version corrects the error of using the same diagram for both non-controlled and controlled ADs.
There are no APR/DEP extensions (crosshatched) on non-controlled ADs!

See latest MOS (Current Version at time of posting this is https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2022C00594)
