An Interview With ATC - Understanding Controlled Airspace

In Week 3 of National Safety Month 2025, we focus on the enroute or cruise phase of flight we will look at airspace, not particularly Class G airspace which most of us fly in, but associated controlled airspace, knowing how to navigate clear of it, planning and knowing the status and requirements for active controlled airspace awareness, understanding the job of the controllers and how you can remain vigilant to approach points, traffic mix and the communications with ATC that will keep everyone safe and separated. Members are encouraged to listen in with RAAus Acting Head of Safety and Head of Training Development, Neil Schaefer and Scott Nugent, President of Civil Air, Air Traffic Control Australia who will share insights into current trends in Australian airspace, the risks these create for pilots, and practical ways to overcome them.
