Chuck you made me realise that all of my concerns re the NAS are unfounded. I missed the very important characteristic of the model that VFR aircraft must avoid IFR routes and approach and departure areas. Thankfully when this hapens this means that all VFR aircraft will be well and truely out of the way of any collision risk.

Obviously seeing all of the VFR support for NAS the pilot of such will be heeding the rules and avoiding all of these above mentioned areas. It quite obviously is MUCH MUCH more restrictive than the current system where you can fly where ever you want. But hang on, you can fly anywhere you want AND MORE under NAS if you listen to some of the 'pilots' in this debate. Guess what, no you can't. The model alone tells you not to so by supporting it you support flying even more restrictively.

Tell me who this benefits again?
