AsA TIBA/TRA/OPR Restrictions
I believe there were a few good lessons learnt from the VH-TNP accident report.
If a similar event occurred today without ATC surveillance, we most certainly would end up with another smoking hole in the ground.

When they cannot do it themselves, or when they don't do it themselves? There were six other aircraft operating at MNG at that time. None of them hit each other. There's been IFR training over MNG for decades, and many other places, both before and after ATC became 'responsible' for the airspace. Their staffing levels had nothing to do with it.
Failure to operate a world's best practice ATS system
And meanwhile, more airspace with Operational Restrictions.

In your mind -
a/. what were the lessons from VH-TNP?
b/. Why could a similar event not occur with surveillance?
In my mind it happened with MNG…..
I consider the ATSB report into the midair a farce….
Either all IFRs separated or AsA gets out of G completely …. And let ADSB IN do it all
Duck a couple of honest questions…

You sound like my current Chief Pilot!
Duck,
when you understand how different people think, if you are not willing to explain the thoughts behind your comments, then in my mind it reduces your words to just gratuitous letters, ie like pissing into the wind..
I’m not a pilot but from your statement I,m assuming you are lucky yo have a chief pilot who is intelligent and curious…

GF,
Read the accident report and you should be able to understand my logic.
I think there may have also been procedural ATC surveillance charges implemented in Class E airspace for IFR aircraft as a result of the accident investigation.
I’m sure some others on here will recall.

The AIP and NOTAM requirements doesn’t mandate additional fuel requirements when TIBA operates exists, specifically with regards to holding/delays with regards to TIBA operations.

Given the current number of TRAs, there should be an interactive map that can display multiple TRAs on a single map. If AsA are not providing an ATC Service, then as a minimum they should be providing a pre-flight FIS (Flight Information Service) that assists the pilots. Feel your pain DP.

Load up on fuel and don't fly in TIBA. Simple really.

When I asked some controllers what CIVILAIR (the air traffic controllers union) was doing, they all looked embarrassed…some thought it had become the paid political broadcaster for Airservices….surely not…Has the profession sunk so low now that people in dayglo jackets holding a STOP/SLOW sign are called traffic controllers???
How pathetic has Civil Air and the controllers become? Catherine the Great must have tracked them DCT TO EUNIC!

How pathetic has Civil Air and the controllers become? Catherine the Great must have tracked them DCT TO EUNIC!
Civilair put out a media release in February which is the one that has been quoted this last week on various media outlets.
Also AFAP have a lengthy news item on the topic which I linked on a previous post.
MEDIA RELEASE 28 February 2023
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL STAFFING
Civil Air is the association representing the professional, technical, and industrial needs of Australian Air Traffic Controllers and Air Traffic Control Supporting Staff.
Recent reports have highlighted the staffing shortfall within air traffic control, and the constant reliance on overtime leading to increased levels of fatigue and work/life balance issues for our members. In addition, the staffing shortfall has created consequent unfair pressure upon those who continue to provide professional operational services to the industry.
The COVID-19 pandemic shut down national and international borders and significantly altered the aviation landscape from March 2020.
In July 2021, Airservices offered a Retirement Incentive Scheme (RIS) to its air traffic services staff. 138 Air Traffic Service staff took this offer between 30 August 2021 and 17 June 2022. Of the 138, at least 124 were operational Air
Traffic Controllers. We estimate that RIS removed approximately 13.7% Air Traffic Controllers from rosters around Australia.
Personal leave is a direct result of removing workforce resilience (eg. RIS), traffic returning to pre-Covid levels earlier than anticipated and the constant requirement for overtime.
Civil Air wrote to Airservices to voice our concerns that the RIS would remove experienced ATC staff from rosters across the country. In response, Airservices advised Civil Air that they would not jeopardise safety and also advised that Workforce Deployment “has a plan” for staffing.
On 28 June 2022, Civil Air communicated these concerns to the regulator, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. It is a requirement under the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 for an air traffic service provider to have a sufficient number of suitably qualified Air Traffic Control staff.
Civil Air are in continuous communication with Airservices to address these challenges in order to achieve adequate staffing and reduce the negative impact on our members.
“Unplanned leave”
Recent media reports have quoted Airservices as being critical about the level of ‘unplanned leave’ being taken by ATCs. Airservices management have blamed airline service interruptions on ATCs taking an increased volume of
“unplanned leave”, rather than their own lack of workforce planning/resource allocation.
To put this into context, for the next 6 weeks (between 25 February and 31March 2023), there are currently 1,296 shifts presently vacant or already allocated to staff on overtime. This equates to 12% of shifts across Australia being unfilled at the time of roster publication.
This is before any impact of potential unplanned personal leave. Covering these unfilled shifts will require overtime and thus reduce the number of available staff to cover any subsequent personal leave taken. Airservices report an increase to 20.6 shifts of personal leave taken per annum, up from 14 shifts per annum pre-Pandemic. An increase of 6 shifts per annum, in the context of a pandemic that, until recently, required mandatory isolation for positive cases
appears appropriate.
Further, it is relevant to note that ATCs have a regulatory requirement not to work unless medically fit for duty.
Data obtained by Civil Air for the period 1 December 2022 to 31 January 2023 demonstrates a very clear shortfall in the number of required staff, with recorded overtime hours far exceeding the number of hours lost to unplanned
leave.

28 February and using any calendar you'd like to nominate, Gregorian, Julian, or Hijri, its 130 days.
Perhaps Civil Air have been somewhat captured by all this, and its become the new normal. Perhaps the membership are seeing it each and every day, and the ATCs and support staff just get on with it and deal with it. Plug the holes and hopefully handover to an incoming shift.
This thread has highlighted the extent of TIBA, and the euphemism of Operational Restrictions (critical staffing shortage).
From Wikipedia
Normalization of deviance, according to American sociologist Diane Vaughan, is the process in which deviance from correct or proper behavior or rule becomes culturally normalized.
Vaughan defines the process where a clearly unsafe practice becomes considered normal if it does not immediately cause a catastrophe: "a long incubation period [before a final disaster] with early warning signs that were either misinterpreted, ignored or missed completely".
The original example cited by Vaughan is the events leading to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, but the concept has also been applied to aviation safety, clinical practice in medicine, and the public's deviance from health measures aimed to stop the COVID-19 pandemic.
Normalization of deviance can exist in conjunction with corporate omertà where deviation from rules is held up by a code of silence surrounding the deviations or an unspoken agreement on rhetoric within a group of executives. One of the reasons Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed was normalization of deviance based on a criticism of corporate omerta with a "culture of silence".

I do acknowledge that Civil Air is very reliant on volunteers stepping up to be delegate and it's a hard gig.
Civil Air's charter is to advocate for the professional, technical and industrial needs of Australian Air Traffic Controllers and ATC Support Staff. From my experience, the membership was more focused on the loss of licence insurance and industrial issues, rather than strongly advocating professional development and technical enhancements.
I'll now revert to posting TIBA/OPR Restrictions information.
