So What??
Vref+5,
So what?
I know it is a defence requirement...which makes it a government requirement. However, this doesn't negate the fact that when JA flew out of Coffs, he was regarded as sooo important a person that he required the protection of D class tower airspace.
To me, social justice would dictate that no one life is more important than any other. We can always get another acting PM, besides there are plenty of spares in Canberra.
The facts are that this type of government policy stinks...(but then so does NAS), and it doesn't make it right.
The fact is
- it happened,
- many don't think it right,
- and JA still had to run the gauntlet of E airspace anyway.
