Any further narrowing of the Birmingham / East Mids gap will have a significant impact on VFR traffic density. The corridor is already very busy with light aircraft and military aircraft, all operating VFR. I hope we can at least get a LARS to help. This is the second fatal mid air in the corridor in the last 12 months. The other was at 1450 ft AGL, so even the “ok above 1000 ft” idea will not necessarily save you.
