Sunfish,
Understand your feelings, GA has been conned before.
The presence of surveillance, ADSB or otherwise is no guarantee of Safety.
That is the biggest confidence trick perpetrated on industry.
One has to do something with it. Class E down to !500 AGL with IFR separated from IFR is one way.
Sadly MNG the ultimate price that was waiting to happen since TAAATS commissioned and FS disbanded without a complex and detailed acknowledgement of what was happening in late 1990s.
DOES IT NOT WORRY ANYONE ELSE THAT DURING BUSY TIMES AIRSERVICES IS PROPOSING A DOWNGRADING OF AIRSPACE CLASS FROM E to G?
Seems somewhat counterintuitive and illogical against high level concepts of airspace classes.
So when MNG SAFIS active what is in place to ensure MNG midair is not repeated?
When MNG SAFIS not active MNG midair would not have happened, ie defaults from CLASS G to CLASS E and IFRs separated.
I am happy to be proven wrong as the so called Industry Briefing Package is somewhat limited in detail.
I can understand the reported concerns from the work face controllers in AsA from a variety of perspectives.
