bush pelican,
I generally agree with what you write with one strong exception - the NAS system is deliberately intended to disenfranchise the VFR pilot form the system.
It has been the aim of every RHS airspace initiative to ensure that he and his like-minded pilots are able to go wherever they like without any rules or procedures to otherwise interrupt their right to enjoy flying without interuption.
What is really interesting is the fact that the CEO of AirServices Australia (an organisation now clearly established as a classic oxymoron!) admitted at Safeskies that there will be no savings and a net cost to introduce NAS - part of the continuing saga of the user paying for continual increases in risk for no benefit to commercial operations.
and I really do mean Stay Alive!
