Subject: Freedom of Information request - Hobart Airport - Incidents of Aviation Fuel Jettisoning
From: Cathy Minnucci <[FOI #11238 email]>
To: FOI-ATSB <[ATSB request email]>

Dear Australian Transport Safety Bureau,



I am led to believe the following:



• Pilots seek permission from Air Traffic Control to dump fuel from the aircraft.

• The Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Airservices Australia enforce strict procedures on when and where fuel jettisoning can occur.

I have been advised your department also receive notification when these types of incidents occur.



Please provide all documents from between 1 Jan 2019 and 1 Jan 2024 where any incidents were reported, or permission was granted to jettison fuel from an aircraft travelling to or from Hobart TAS within a radius of 60km of Hobart Airport.



Yours faithfully,



Cathy Minnucci
