Say What?

VoR,

I was very surprised about your latest post.

Nowhere have I seen the ATC's or professional pilots of OZ say that E airspace (per se) was unsafe.

Read ****su-tonka's post again.

As for questioning the airspace design. Why not? Just cause, in your opinion, European and US ATC don't question, this makes OZ ATC and pilots some sort of whinging lunatic fringe. Perhaps those that question have legitimate concerns? Just because it is done in the US and Europe it is immediately acceptable for OZ. No way, baby.

It all sounds like an argument put forward by Dick. In fact, your last couple of posts read like something written by Dick, and not the reasoned, logical VoR we have heard from before.

Lets get something straight.

Fact: ATCs and pilots in OZ do not object to Class E airspace. We've been using it for over 5 years. We object to the airspace design incorporating E airspace in the descent/climb profiles of fare paying jets into busy airfields like Brisbane and Melbourne.

What is the difference between Dick and a computer?
Only have to punch the information into the computer once.
