What would be interesting would be to know how many movements Lossie and Kinloss have and the number of airproxes aircraft under their control have been involved in. If as I susppect these are not of sufficient cause for major concern, then it seems to suggest that large airliner aircraft, fast jets and numerous GA aircraft can operate in the Moray airspace with a level of safety assured through the provision of a radar service without the imposition of CAS. So how does the number of movements at Inverness compare and why isn't provision of a radar sevice without establishing CAS made a prerequisite before further expansion of traffic levels at Inverness?

And with the likely imposition of Mode S for all aircraft in the next few years, TCAS would add another level of safety that has hitherto been unavailable.
