I’ve some genius ideas: Let’s call these designated areas “Mandatory Broadcast Zones”. Heck, if there’s a dude or dudette on the ground providing information, let’s call the areas “Aerodrome Flight Information Zones”. Copyright Lead Balloon 2019.

15 commercial movements in a day? In one day? The mind boggles.

I recall around 120 aircraft departing at 30 second intervals during each leg of the Bicentennial Round Australia Air Race. All taking off from the same runway and all going to the same destination. Within 5 or so minutes after take off a cabin full of pilots couldn’t spot another aircraft in the sky.

Still fascinates me that some RPT pilots are prepared to fly in and out of aerodromes in G but balk at Class E airspace. Both rely on LCDs complying with the rules. I can’t see how the difference in airspace makes an LCD any more or less prone to error or compliant with the applicable rules.
