Australian Defence Force (ADF) helicopters and personnel will conduct aviation training across the Adelaide River region from 31 March to 4 April 2025.
Members of the public may notice an increase in military helicopter and vehicle movements alongside associated noise during this period. They should not be alarmed if they see or hear military helicopters flying in the region.
ADF personnel will be carrying weapons and aircraft will be loaded with inert (dummy) ammunition for training purposes. No ammunition will be used during the training.
We ask members of the public to follow the advice of ADF personnel and maintain a safe distance from the helicopters and remain clear during take-off and landing.
All aircraft activities are conducted within strict safety and operational guidelines.
The flying activity schedule is subject to change, including short notice cancellation, due to variables such as air traffic control, weather and other aviation considerations.
Safety, noise management and the environment are vital considerations in the planning and conduct of Defence flying activities.
Noise disturbances will be minimised where possible and the ADF thanks the public for their patience and cooperation.
Members of the public can access further information regarding aircraft noise at https://www.defence.gov.au/aircraftnoise/, or by calling 1800 033 200.
