Can anyone tell me why Civilair have not released a media release stating that Night VFR actually happens in Australia and that the statement was incorrect about VFR not flying at night. And while you are at it, maybe you could also retract the statement about the VFR aircraft getting in the way of the SAAB into Canberra.
I believe (but dont quote me) that the first statement is in regards to NAS VFR procedures at night e.g VFR Climb, not the fact that VFR aircraft are in E airspace at night, because we all know about Night VFR. The second statement, I believe (but don't quote me) comes from a report submitted by the controller at the time, not made up in some back office at Civil Air HQ. Put yourself in Teds position, he receives a copy of a report written by a concerned controller who stands by it. Why retract?

because if much of this is from regionals and controllers, in a few years time when you need GA to give you a hand, the wounds may not have healed
Is this your personal opinion or official AOPA doctrine?
