Dick, Dick, Dick, (shakes head)

Having briefly read the incidents that you have so painstakingly put up in defence of NAS I would like to say this.

From my observations the majority of these incidents seem to take place OCTA, or there is a blatant cockpit breakdown (ie: non adherence to an ATC clearance!!).

The incidents post NAS have occured with high capacity RPT jets on descent into controlled aerodromes, where everybody involved was conforming to their clearances or proceeding as class E airspace allows.

Now my question is this, can you not see the difference between the pre and post NAS scenarios?

Secondly how can removing frequencies from charts whilst still expecting people to be on an "appropriate frequency" enhance safety OCTA? You yourself have already quoted a myriad of incidents pre NAS, that have in the large part been caused by miscommunications and/or aircraft with incorrect frequncies selected.


Cheers, HH.

PS: safe flying all.
