ARE YOU EQUIPPED TO FLY INTO AUSTRALIA?
If you are planning to fly into or within Australia you need to be aware of new
performance-based navigation rules, as well as global navigation satellite
system (GNSS) and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B)
equipment mandates.
Before you fly in Australia you will need to be aware of the deadlines for
compliance and ensure that the GNSS and ADS-B equipment installed on your
aircraft meets the new requirements. Aircraft from the USA with ADS-B through
the Universal Access Transceiver system will not work in Australia and are not
compliant with the new rules.
For a full overview of performance-based navigation in Australia, equipment
mandates and ADS-B exemption guidelines visit www.casa.gov.au/cns

frontal activity pick up greatly in the colder
months. Wind sock sticking straight out?
Then count on turbulence as terrain, varying pressure gradients, and post-frontal
instability kick in.
One sign of an impending violent spring
cold front is worth remembering, and all it
takes is a bit of very rudimentary surface
weather observation. Are there strong,
unseasonably warm winds blowing out of
the south? Is the barometer dropping? If so,
then get ready. A fast-moving cold front will
soon come your way. And another frontal
passage may soon follow, as yet another jet
stream's trough aloft sends more clashing
air masses along.
This sort of activity will peak in the
April-May time frame which, not coincidentally, also is the height of tornado
season. By summer, things calm down,
those cold troughs won't dig as far south,
temperatures become more uniform across
the continental United States, and winds
slacken. But that's a long way off. Right
now's the time to keep an eye on the wind,
temperature, surface analysis, and prog
charts to prevent any ugly surprises AOPA
