Balix, this argument is all about efficient use of airspace. There are times where the military do not manage their MDAs as they should. Similarly, there are times where a piece of CAS is not justifiable. At present, the argument for ADN-NEW (P18) is not justifiable. Why doesn't the relatively small amount of CAT go the long way round? We cannot automatically implement CAS just because we want to - we must consider all airspace users. In the meantime, I would repeat my original comment. The onus for risk acceptance must lie upon the civil operator who chooses to operate in Class G airspace for commercial gain.

Regarding application of RAS - I cannot see the logic behind prohibiting it's application due to the risk of pop-up traffic. IMHO that RAS should only be refused due to controller workload.
