As Dick has, I think, pointed out, how many ordinary unprivileged pilots and their passengers have to die just to satisfy the RAAF ask for many hundreds of square miles of airspace to play in and the absurd liability fantasies of CASA and AsA?
How many dead this month due to rotten controlled airspace real estate rules? One mooney and one Iroquois? Six or seven people?’
And another thing...,,CASA and their lapdog, the ATSB, sunk the slipper into Angel Flight for far less reason. Where is the special report into East Coast transit airspace and procedures that force small aircraft into flying over water or mountains instead of along the coast with at least the possibility of a safe forced landing? More people have been killed by the current East Coast airspace rules than Angel Flight ever did.
Rant mode off.
meanwhile I just flew through Luke Air Force base MOA next to Phoenix in a helicopter, with a bunch of f16’s and other jets blasting around low level, no problems approach just passes along the traffic.
