On your comments on post NAS airspace you have some diagrams using the word ROADBLOCK.



Considering what Albizia and others have said here, there does not appear to be any evidence to support your assertions that there are even delays, let alone ROADBLOCKS. After all, Roadblocks according to the Oxford Dictionary means: a barrier put across a road by the police or army to stop and examine traffic.

Your use of the word ROADBLOCK is not only emotive, it doesn't even make sense.

Where is there any benefit for anyone in going through the rigmerole, yet again, of reclassifying the airspace and providing a lower level of service (Dirt Road'ish some might suggest) for no proven economic benefit, and a definite degradation of the level of safety and service that is provided?

Couldn't the limited resources that are available be better spent in other ways? For example, more radar coverage to provide E Airspace to a lower level where G currently exists? (Of course some interest groups would probably lobby against this because of the Transponder requirment).

What about a radar approach service for Avalon or even Maroochydore?

I assume this kind of decision would now be in the hands of CASA(OARS) with all their expertise in such matters?
