What is really frightening is that there was 458 VCA’s
Was it just me or was Mike Smith purporting that the NAS2b changes were going to solve this (press November 2003), because of the new simple airspace system(structure).
Is the number higher or lower than the preceding period and what if any is the difference in activity?
It should be way lower as the reduction in enroute C would have eliminated many in my view; not to mention the 'VCA's over D class towers that effectively don't happen now... But clearly the problem is not solved...
