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?
I'm glad someone else thinks along the same lines. I've felt for quite some time that Class E control zones would be the best 'compromise' for want of a better word. It allows ATC to work with the full IFR picture without restricting VFR flight whether GA or otherwise. I'm surprised there isn't more support for it in the UK really.
