mm flynn, that's precisely why I've objected to the airspace grab proposed by Coventry and also to the one proposed by RobinFinningleyHoodie International Chavport. We all know that the VFR transit assurances won't be honoured once LoCos start ferrying 737 loads of drunken yobs to various continental airports..

RobinHoodie wants enough airspace to facilitate radar vectors to 10 mile final. No doubt for the commercial benefit of their customers. Whereas all they really need is a descent from the overhead procedure with some protection given to approach lanes. It might cost the LoCos more, but it would reduce the level of Class G airspace theft they propose.

Anyone refused a VFR transit through Class D airspace should certainly submit a report!
