Well, I renewed my PPL in Jersey, recently, and I thought it was great! They do a good job there with a wide mix of types (slow and fast) and they're very kind to GA
I now fly from a class B Zone in a different country, and am
forced to go in/out at 900ft AGL over the top of a large city with no hope of a landing area in case of engine failure.
Once outside, its indian country. Three days ago, an F16 passed 500ft below me left to right at 250kts (4 seconds visual warning), saw an Alphajet 2 nm away, and when returing to the zone, but still ouside the airspace, was passed by an outbound opposite direction, 100 yards right and 300ft below - despite being warned and looking for it, I only spotted it about 3 seconds before it disappeared from view under the right cowling. If I had descended earlier to the zone entry height .....
All I got from this Class B zone was an ATC circuit joining clearance and extended downwind leg.
Jersey was better! Give me good ATC with radar
every time!
