JM This is painful. Not one or the other,-both if they are available. Thats why our jets have 2 engines and for RPT, 2 pilots. Its called "fail safe".
Peuce, The safety case and policy decision was done years ago. Believe it or not , it is a fundamental part of NAS.
If such a procedure can work in the US, and in Canada, there is just a chance it could work here.
I pay a substantial amount for the IFR ATC service so I would like to have some assistance where the risk is greatest- like going into Bankstown or into Moorabbin over Mt Dandenong when in IMC.
