Another bizarre Airservices accomplishment is Avalon, where a tower controller clears an IFR aircraft for take-off in Class D airspace and the aircraft then has to fend for itself between 2500 and 4500 ft in class E airspace against VFR traffic before entering Class C airspace above 4500 ft. This is all in full view of the tower controller.
Why Class D airspace during tower hours is not continuous from ground level to 4500 ft is beyond reason.
Ballina, Mildura, Avalon - We seem determined to run to the scene of an accident
