The Bikkie Maker should be fu%ked and burnt. You are a complete disgrace. The only reason I will have anything further to do with the NAS project is the aim at the moment seems to be to ROLLBACK some of the cr@p you have implemented. You can climb a tree as far as I am concerned. If I ever have to endure another meeting with you in it I will not acknowledge your existence in any way.
I have said it before you peanut, if you want to get what the Yanks do then implement it. What you have done is implement what the FAA has documented, and it is nothing like what they do. Your in depth analysis of the situation is a mockery. All through the training program for NAS 2B my workmates drew parrallels to the famous PSA 727 vs VFR C172 crash in LA. They had traffic, they both were in contact with ATC, ATC watched them legally crash and it happened in B airspace. B airspace you wally, one grade more restrictive than anything in Australia, even in the 1950's you seem to hate so much. Your f*ckwit FAA contact is saying they would solemnly separate stuff in the boonies yet let them prang in LA....
Will the Lancair pilot get spanked for daring to broadcast his whereabouts on the not only "appropriate" but right ATC freq instead of being on the CTAF of some hole miles away???
..problem to make a heading change, or pause the climb/descent to ensure adequate seperation from another aircraft...
No problem at all Bush Pelican. This is the service the aircraft would have recieved in the same situation prior to NOV27. All the other incidents that have horrified and dismayed ATC all over the country would have recieved the service you think shouldn't be a problem prior to NOV27 also. It was a C airspace service. Now these traffic pairs are being "resolved" with an E airspace service and its not working well. And I'm getting sick of hearing about the 21% drop in incidents. Absolute CR@P
And they got the same service outside radar coverage also (like to the north of Launceston) but it was flagrant wastage to provide such a service from the single-manned towers... which are still manned the same, so no dollars saved???????
The reference somebody made to only brave controllers vectoring in E airspace refers to one of the meaningless bits of cr@p that has been placed into AIP by this sh1tty project. It is a responsibility of VFR to avoid IFR routes. So if I vector an IFR off one of these sacrosanct IFR routes and he hits somebody legally flying along in E airspace with no transponder some of the mud WILL stick to me.
If everybody likes E airspace so much how come I had 3 RPT flights today refuse clearances in E airspace because their TCAS was U/S????
Edited to insert more vitriol about 4 times, and I still want to strangle the pencil-necked geek...
