Looking at UK airspace and watching the procedures from time to time have always left me scratching my head... Listening to the discourse here about how it is and how it should be makes my head hurt <G>... Makes me happy that we have easy airspace to keep up with. If you want to look at an easy airspace to operate in, take a look at our AIM (aeronautical information manual) and then look at some of our charts... Yes we have a LOT of airspace, but depending on where you are, there is either a LOT of space and nothing going on, a moderate amount of space a bunch going on, or not much space and EVERYTHING going on <G>.... A little bit of everything for everyone as it were. A smorgasboard of aviation...
For providing services, there are only basicly two types, IFR and then VFR with advisories. Nothing else to speak of...
Have fun with the discussion. I'm going to be on the road for a week on a project. Will be interesting to see where the discussion has gone while I am away...
I am thankfull for PPRUNE being here, it gives me an interesting perspective on aviation. I wish that there were more folks from the continent on here giving their perspective too...
regards
