I agree with Highland Director - as he says, "I am not comfortable" with working TWR/APP, and even with radar sometimes, in Class G. My own - subjective - assessment is that while very often it is perfectly workable, equally the situation can become less that satisfactory with the workload and reducing options. It depends very much on which part of the country you are in, but in some places everything can conspire against you at times.
What I do not understand is why many of the aerodromes in Class G airspace could not be afforded, at the very least, a Class E CTR - is this too much to ask? We hear all about this Duty of Care, directed at the controllers, what about the CAA's D of C to provide appropriate facilities to do the job properly?
