cool so...
Taupo = bad because there is no ATC. issues like pilot training and situational awareness are the preserve of part 61 and should be adressed in that context.
ATC costs money and tramples on certain peoples toes.
If one looks at the situation as a balanced equation where on the one hand you have a finite amount of money and on the other, a mixture of activities, what activities do you think should be removed to make taupo a safer airport? humour me i am new.
as an example, one could say PJE should be allowed to dispatch but have to land off-site. this would at least free-up the overhead. If PJE operators are upset about the increased cost, they should look around and see how many other PJ airfields there are around to compete against. I dont know but i am sure there are plenty of examples overseas where this happens.
So there you go. Considering that ATC is not going to occur at taupo in the short to medium term, what would you remove/alter to make it safer?
