taking the focus away from airspace not within the immediate vicinity of major aerodromes - so that controllers may monitor busy aerodromes more closely (in theory anyway).
You have got to be kidding! Think carefully about the nonsense statement you have been fed here. The aerodromes with a tower still have a tower,
nothing has changed. How will the controllers
monitor busy aerodromes more closely? It is nonsense. The sort of hyperbole dished out in press releases to an apathetic (understandably) public who have no idea of the issues involved. For goodness sake most of the posters on here do not seem to understand the issues that well.
It all sounds great to focus on the circuit area coms and the idea that more people will be on right frequency but the climb and descent is where the problem lies for the higher performance aircraft. Think about it, long and hard.
