Across the Whitsundays, Australian Defence Force (ADF) operation Talisman Sabre 2023 will take to the air, performing a series of tactical flying activities.
From July 21 to August 4, residents should be aware of increased flight traffic, particularly military helicopters, including heavy lift with slung loads, and unmanned aerial drones which will be completing low-level tactical flying operations.
This will result is wake turbulence and loud noises and may spook animals.
The Proserpine Aerodrome and Lindeman Island are also expected to have military personnel participate in parachuting exercises between July 21 and July 30, in the cover of darkness.
The Bloomsbury Lakeside Airpark aerodrome will be restricted from civilian use, with the airspace stretching above Bloomsbury to Midge Point being used for tactical flying operations, for select times between July 25 to July 28.
Individuals with aircrafts have been advised to have their radar transponders active across the region, with either their non-discrete code or the code provided to them by an air traffic controller.
Civilian aircrafts are instructed to promptly provide identification when radio requested.
Talisman Sabre 2023 is a part of an ADF tactical operation used for training of military personnel, in logistics activities, amphibious landings, land and ground force manoeuvres, air combat and maritime operations.
The township of Bowen hosts a large part of the personnel; however, the training operation includes activities and movements across the region.
