Ironically though, Class E down to 1200’ plus a CAGRS actually sounds better than Class D to the ground... at least Class E controllers are allowed to separate using ADSB, or are they? (genuine question)
Yes we can separate using ADSB in class E, however the separation standard is 5nm. Have a look at how far from the aerodrome you have to be to get 5nm separation. Close in a tower can run things far tighter than a radar controller can.
