Dick,
This is the procedure used throughout the world in Class E airspace. It is almost identical to the “safety alert” listed in the pilot/controller glossary of the FAA approved Airman’s Information Manual (AIM).
I do believe we live in
AUSTRALIA and that we use the
AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication)!
I believe there are thousands of small aviation businesses that could be assisted by having an efficient airspace system.
Granted, on the surface this statement is true, but the majority of Australian small aviation businesses do not use class E airspace and this is where the problem lies. No one is saying we should'nt have a more efficient system, we are trying to make class E airspace safe!!
Lets face it most small aviation businesses in Australia are either charter or training businesses. Most charter is done in piston powered aircraft in northern/western remote areas in class G airspace. Most training even around capital cities, is done once again in piston powered aircraft in classes C,D and G.
Why do we need an effectively uncontrolled airspace overlying controlled airspace? I cant see who it benefits, well yes I can but that would be getting personal.
Cheers, HH.
Dick: you got it wrong!
