libelle, you can tell your friend to relax, he is mistaken. I have not made a phone call as you have described – just as I have not run my Citation off a runway or removed my “CAA225 reports from my file when I retired from CAA”.
PPRuNers can make up as many stories as they want to attack my personal credibility. However the decisions on airspace should be decided objectively and scientifically. That’s all I want. That is, to allocate the ICAO airspace category on a scientific basis where the risk lies. This would logically mean that if you have Class G airspace at Ayers Rock (with up to 19 jet movements per day and lots of VFR traffic), Class C airspace may not be required above Albury.
