Could a personal jetpack flight legally occur over Australian cities?
<p>Have just been reading about the remarkable jetpack flight over Dubai, in the article <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/205584-flying-over-dubai-and-other-places-with-jetpacks" rel="nofollow">Flying over Dubai — and other places — with jetpacks</a> (a YouTube of the incredible flight is available on <a href="https://youtu.be/Czy0pXRRZcs" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>).</p>

<p>My question is, what is the law regarding a similar flight over an Australian city?  (for example, flying over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and around the Centrepoint Tower)</p>

<p>Assuming that the aircraft is allowed to operate in Australia, that the pilot was licensed, communications were to spec etc. then the answer is given in <a href="https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/dah/dah.pdf" rel="nofollow">designated Airspaces handbook</a>.</p>

<p>Without going into details the airspace above Sydney is controlled and permission from Airservices Australia would be needed.</p>
