New airline System in Australia
Hi all
I am not a pilot but merely an Australian passenger who flies on jets occasionally.
I have recently read about the near miss of a Virgin Blue plane with a light aircraft which may have something to do with a recently introduced system of air traffic control.
Can someone please, in layman's language, explain to me the difference between the old system and the new system and secondly can you please advise whether this significantly increases the risk of flying on passenger aircraft in Australia?
i'm sure that there are lots of readers who are not pilots who would like an insiders view of what is happening so that they can make an informed choice about whether to fly or not rather than relying on the newspapers.
Thanks
Peter
