Imagine if we ever had a war – with the present people in senior positions in the Air Force seemingly unable to make any decision which requires lateral thinking and real leadership.
you are the first to get your nose out of shape if someone gets slanderous against you; yet you have the hide to write something like this. Pathetic.

what are the odds of an IFR aircraft having an engine failure on take off from 12 and crossing the coast at 500 feet at exactly the same time that a VFR aircraft in the lane is at the same place?
since when did 'odds' come into positive separation??

So are you saying that if this was a civilian aorport with the same geography, then lighties wouldn't get held if there was an IFR departure of 12; i.e are you are saying that the rules here are RAAF specific?

At least you called it Williamtown, as in Air Force Base and not Newcastle Airport.
