While the pilots did everything that was require
Except arrange vertical separation in IMC.

The controller seems to have acted correctly in accordance with procedures
Not much more the controller could have done. If as a pilot you are not going to arrange vertical on the trajectories involved...............

Overloaded training aids in the Melbourne basin after the closure of Cowes, Wonthaggi
CASA specifies an aid in the initial issue of an Instrument Rating, ASA rips most of them out, well done, not.

Maybe a failure of the AsA traffic system to determine STCA alarms according to flight plan rather than trajectory.
Has nothing to do with it. STCA is short term, predictive on radar trajectories which is far more accurate than a flight plan trajectory.

Yes, it's a good report AND ONLY A BIT OVER TWO YEARS. But still skirts around the airspace issue. Would not have happened in Class E. That piece of airspace is extremely busy at times, why? Where's the closest VOR that training can be done apart from MNG? The sectorisation there is extremely challenging for the ATC. But don't worry, a bull**** remedy has been implemented that will do nothing to make it safer.

The ridiculousness of the CASA see & be seen concept.


C'monnnn, it's the vibe, so totally safe in 21st century aviation, worked for the Wright Bros.
