Are the customers/airliners aware of this? Ryanair, Austrian, Lufthansa, Intersky, Hamburgjet, Execujet...?
- They're not! But the DFS, the german ANSP, is! We've a lot of documents with exactly these kind of problems there but the DFS don't care about it - they're just waiting...
The only thing to solve the problem
contingently would be to lift the CTR EDNY up to 4500/5000' MSL and putting class D over it. But then you'll get the "problem" that all these VFR's gonna call EDNY TWR for crossing the CTR etc. cause we're not talking german, only english
- imagine the frequency overload there....
You can't imagine a sunny sunday there in the good old disintegrating tower at Friedrichshafen with about 20 VFR on freq. some of them "only" crossing along the shoreline through the approach/departure sector (often without radio contact and working XPNDR) some of them to land/depart. Almost 90% of them not able to fly an aircraft and additional you've rapidly increasing IFR movs. Doing the approach sector for them, I won't sit over there in the mentioned scenario which seems to appear too often now...
Do we really need another accident in order they finally change this airspace classification?
- to wake the DFS/german authority up, yes
