really?
Give someone there a call.
On a daily basis whenever a course is doing their circuits.
Yeah really, I seriously doubt it goes on at all, let alone on a daily basis (during courses).

So far the only people saying it goes on are ATC's. ATC's who don't like an ex ATC criticising a serious lack of service to VFR aircraft in this country. ATC in this country suffer from some sort of 'Worlds Best Practice' bias. I've been fortunate enough to fly VFR extensively in the US, I 'suffered' from the same bias until I did.

ATC in this country are very close minded. There are lessons to be learned from a system that does it far better than us. I struggle to understand where and why it started to go wrong. I did my UPPL at Bankstown in the early 90's, there were 10 aircraft in the training circuit, more sometimes. Why is the training circuit limited to 6 aircraft now?

Australia, the lucky country.........not.

Horne's intent in writing the book was to portray Australia's climb to power and wealth based almost entirely on luck rather than the strength of its political or economic system, which Horne believed was "second rate". In addition to political and economic weaknesses, he also lamented on the lack of innovation and ambition
