During March Central Coast residents will notice an increase in military helicopter movements overhead.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) helicopters and personnel will be conducting aviation training across the Coast, as well as in the Sydney and Wollongong regions.
Training will be conducted during the day and night and involve responses to simulated threat scenarios.
The choppers will probably be noisy but the ADF says residents should not be alarmed if they see or hear military helicopters flying low over urban areas.
No live ammunition will be used during the training.
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.
