Do you realise that no other country has C over D?
Why do you reckon that would be so?
not sure why a clearance was not available. I assume atc had good reasons.
yes we are the only country to have c over d. I have flown extensively overseas. are you aware we had e over d once?
I think we are in agreement Mr Smith. Coffs harbour radar approach sounds like a good idea. Do you think that would be class d like they have at Heathrow? I believe the d tower in Australia does approach at the moment but not using radar. Would I need a transponder into a class d if it became a radar approach, as they are not required into coffs today?
great to chat, I like your position on all this
