bentleg, as I have already said,I have spent over a decade communicating with these military people in Canberra. Despite promises of change nothing happens.
I am not actually whingeing- I am communicating to thousands of people just what the real situation is.
Do you think I would get more success in communicating through Newcastle TV just how Aussie families are forced to fly low over the ocean because the military have never modernised their procedures?
Already the "outing" through this thread is having an effect as I understand some recent clearances through the lane have been at 1000' - a great safety improvement that has been rejected in the past.
Now all we need is a procedure for VFR aircraft to transit across the top of the field as they do at LAX and we,ll really be improving safety.
I thank everyone for the support from behind the scenes.
