aircraft may exist at specified times.
Note 1   The Administering Authority may act through its agents. The pilot in command must comply with any conditions of the Administering Authority's approval.
Note 2   Danger areas declared in Schedule 2 are typically associated with lower risk activities such as sports aviation activities or skydiving operations, and flight within them is common in Australia. MOAs, however, are intended to warn pilots of dangers associated with military exercises and training, with risk levels more commonly associated with restricted areas. Pilots of foreign registered aircraft intending to fly through an active MOA are strongly recommended to contact the Administering Authority for further information.
Note 3   If a foreign registered aircraft outside Australian territory opts to transit a MOA without an approval then air traffic services (ATS) cannot be provided, and a new civil clearance is required to re-enter controlled airspace upon leaving the MOA.

10 Activation and deactivation (including by voice) for prohibited, restricted and danger areas
       (1) A prohibited area, a restricted area or a danger area (including a MOA), as mentioned in a Schedule of the Table, or a specified part of such an area (a relevant area), is activated in accordance with the hours of activity statement in the Schedule for the relevant area or the specified part of the area.
Note   Activation times specified are in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) unless otherwise stated.
       (2) For section 5, a relevant area activated in accordance with an hours of activity statement that is a NOTAM (an activating NOTAM) remains active until the finish time specified in the activating NOTAM (specified finish time) unless the Controlling Authority, Administering Authority or Contact deactivates the area earlier than the specified finish time using voice communication to a receiving air traffic control (ATC) authority (early deactivation).
Note   Activation times specified in a NOTAM are in UTC unless otherwise indicated.
       (3) Early deactivation may only be carried out if:
(a) the activity for which the area was activated has ceased; and
(b) I have, by instrument, authorised the early deactivation.
       (4) If early deactivation under subsection (2) occurs within the 60 minutes before the specified finish time, an amending NOTAM is not required.
       (5) The period of activation of a relevant area activated by NOTAM may not be extended by voice communication past the finish time specified in the activating NOTAM.
Note 1   For an extension to the specified finish time, an amending NOTAM is required.
