Albizia, you solve the problem by moving the VFR aircraft so it tracked lots of extra distance via overhead Albury. The particular flight I was talking about was about 20 miles to the south of Albury and going from west to east.

I would be interested to know what “prominent topographical feature” that an inexperienced VFR pilot would know when crossing such an area. In practice I believe it would not be possible.

Anyway, could you advise if there would be any safety problem if I get half a dozen VFR aircraft, and a few IFRs, to do some practice flying at Albury in Class C and set up typical scenarios on a CAVOK day? Do you think the controller would be overloaded? Do you think there could be any safety problems with this or would it be a reasonable test?

I look forward to your advice.
