So much for reduced comms between ATC and VFR pilots.
121.5 will end up as a chatter frequency, totally against it's true reason for being there.
We will be stuck with the Nov 27 airspace structure for many years. Airservices don't have, and in my opinion, will ever have the ability to administer the full blown end state of NAS.
Please show me my increased freedoms for VFR's with the Nov 27 changes, except the ability to over fly D towers above 4500 feet. The rules are that VFR avoid IFR routes, so that precludes actually overflying the aerodrome. To avoid IFR routes, we need ERC's, to know where those routes are. We've all got those,
haven't we?
