Would airline passengers be happy if they knew that when flying into alot of busy regional airports that they are not being seperated from all traffic in their vicinity?...
As for commercial airports operating with just an ATZ in the middle of a field of Class G airspace..is that not just madness!..
It depends really on whether you think that aviation should be regulated on the basis of rational risk management or on the basis of the
perception of safety by those who have no clue as the magnitude of the real risks involved. Personally, I'm for the former.
