Designated Remote Areas, Au

Where to find a map showing Vic/ NSW Designated Remote Areas (Snowys)? 😈

Seems it's more Vague than it used to be. Now it's just where it's sparsely Inhabited by the Looks of it. . Hot and remote without shade I would avoid unless you fly near roads that have regular traffic. Nev

Thanks Mkennard,

 

I have a vague idea for a flight north, staying out of DRA to Khancoban.

 - Entering DRA to Adaminaby. (Paralleling Canberra eastern CTA boundary - . Out of DRA) - Braidwood Percheron - Mittagong -

 

Spectacular country. Highest point Jagungal 6788'

 

Extremely weather dependant - will have an alternate, further west (low country)  route.😈

Skippy, scroll down the page in the following link, the DRA is outlined in orange. I find it incredible that it's not marked on aeronautical charts.

Around about page 141 of the Part91 MOS

DRA seem to have been areas that were recommended to be avoided and required some survival gear to be carried when traversed.

 

I am having difficulty finding defined requirements/recommendations for traversing these areas.

Are they no longer considered (by government) as areas that need this ?
