Mr Smith, why are you so very keen to have Approach Radar and Class C over class D? I see you are now trying to beat up the Minister for Transport as they attempt to recind the requirment for AirServices to provide approach radar for the ten regional aerodromes as stipulated in the study/commision or whateve Minister Anderson decreed back in 05.
Mr Smith, why are you so against the low level roll-out of ADS-B? This technology will provide for surveillance in the airspace surrounding these classD towers for way less than the $150,000,000.00 set for the task.
Why are you opposed to the very thing that can be implimented for the funds provided? You should be consilatory and explain to the Minister exactly what ADS-B can do in relation to this directive. The ALP could come out as heroes of the commonwealth and proclaim loud and long how they saved the country money by installing a surveillance system that cost way less than what the evil coallition wanted to do.
Your fluries of solicitors letters is going to backfire on you. ADS-B could well be the way you can have your cake and curry favour with the Minister.
