I think we are aiming for the
same risk level in all airspace. What will vary is the surveillance, the communications, the procedures but surely the target level of safety should be the same. There may be some ATC equipment that is installed for efficiency, examples being PRM at Sydney, Ground Radar at Sydney (and Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth).
One of the
major problems is determine the value of life. AsA tried to close Camden Tower but no-one could agree on the value of life. If its AUD $4.2m indexed for CPI (or any other figure) from 2014 then this should be agreed and then used in the calculations.
