Australian Airspace - Radar Coverage

[Nigel C]

The pilots in command.

[NickN]

Can someone give us a brief overview of what methods are used to maintain safety while aircraft are in these areas of no coverage?

And is this the primary argument for the pro ADS-B groups to have all commercial and jet aircraft ADS-B fitted?

[Nigel C]

See and avoid, and prudent reporting of position are good starts!

[Owen H]

There is no radar, that doesn't mean there is no ATC control.

Aircraft report their position (as Mick F has said), and ATC seperate you based on that information.

It is inefficient for busy airspace, but for long distance air routes with little traffic, it works fine.
