And, perhaps, more to the point, the CAA should provide a CTR - at the very least, Class E - around aerodromes with IAPs currently in Class G airspace. The present indication on the charts of a feather on the IAP FAT in fact encourages many to fly across the FAT at 5 nm final at around 1500 ft - very useful. Even if some VFR transit aircraft chose to exercise their rights in Class E and not contact ATC, at least the CTR would indicate to them the area utilised by the procedural and radar vectored IAPs and therefore the area of potential confliction. The CAA panders to too many factions who insist on their "rights" - any intelligent member of the public who had a few facts about Class G operations explained would probably be appalled (particularly if he were a passenger on one of the IFRs!).
