“This routine training is designed to provide a realistic test of ADF skills, working together with State and Federal agencies in the form of emergency response scenarios,” he said.
“Flights will occur in all conditions across urban and rural areas during the afternoon and evening, generally concluding by 11.30pm.
“Some flight paths are necessarily lower than normal and some unavoidable noise may be noticeable for short periods.”
He said they aimed to minimise disruption and residents should not be concerned if they hear or see activities occurring.
