Bloggs, I'm not persuing an agenda here, other than archaic airspace and equipment for anything operating below A100.

How many times have VFR flights been denied a clearance into procedural C airspace?
A significant number of times, more the problem is actually getting a VFR clearance through radar controlled C airspace (not CTR). So much so that training organisations are forced to plan and fly in very limited Class C (in our case Essendon) because they know the likelihood of getting the Radar C clearance is remote. If it wasn't for the top notch service we get from Essendon Tower we'd be farked!

Are you going to push for dual carriageway roads everywhere to stop head-on car crashes?
Uhmm, why should we expect any less?? I suppose we should be happy with 1 mbs broadband internet?
