Red,

That was kinda my question. Being only a pesky VFR pilot I am coming to terms with how NAS affects me.

I am trying to learn from the professionals what the mayor issues are with NAS and safety.

And my question was: if this new system is emulating the USA, (and RED rightly asks, why do we want to be like the US), why haven't there been accidents, issues, incidents in the US. If it is as bad a everyone is saying, then surely the US could not operate anywhere near like it does. Lots more traffice in the US etc etc.

There must be different circumstances here in OZ to make NAS so unsafe?

As I said, I dont know much about NAS only from a VFR point of view.

Regards
Noodle
