crisper,
You state:
"Dick once again is showing his opposition for anything ATC or Flight Service related."
Are you joking?
I have been campaigning for the tower to be manned at Avalon and I have also been campaigning for more Class E airspace which requires air traffic controllers to give an air traffic control separation service, not an old out dated traffic information service to IFR.
Why would we need training courses to be set up for CAGRO’s/UNICOM operators when the most proven system in the world doesn’t require this. Or are you suggesting that Australian’s are somehow not as bright as American’s?
