Unbelievable the lack of understanding regarding Class E vs Class G. A quick summary of the differences:
Class E
Transponder Required
Radio Required
No reduced VMC permitted - Minimum 1,500m horizontal 1,000ft distance from cloud, minimum 5,000m VIS below 10,000ft.
Australian Class G
No Transponder Required
Radio only required in certain circumstances (ie certified aerodrome or reduced VIS)
Reduced VMC clear of cloud, and for helicopters minimum visibility of 800m available at low levels providing radio used.
The direct cost for a VFR aircraft to fly in Class E is a transponder and a radio, plus indirect costs as a result of less access to airspace due to the greater meteorological minima.
If people are playing by the rules, Class E has to be safer, even if may at times be less efficient for IFR aircraft.
Not knowing the fundamentals does nothing for the credibility of your position.
