You deliberately attempt to baffle readers with bull dust.

Benalla = OCTA
Launy = CTA (ATC service including level assignments that include terrain protection)
Proserpine = OCTA
It is clear you don't want to support changes not matter what.

The whole point being made here is the same for CTA and OCTA airspace. We must upgrade OCTA to CTA where there is radar and change the CTA radar covered airspace from procedural separation to the far superior radar
services. Surely you can see that.

When details were posted on how the radar was not used to advise the pilot that he was at least 1,000 feet below the legal lowest safe altitude, posters came on this site basically blaming the pilot.
NO, YOU tried unsuccessfully to blame ATC and surveillance!
An absolute furphy Scurvy D Dog. Dick Smith was blaming the failure to upgrade the airspace to controlled airspace where there is an obvious safety benefit. Having radar covered airspace over an airport is wasted if the airspace is classified class G.

cite credible proof of this assertion regarding EGPWS!!
I have had EGPWS go off at FL390. This counts as evidence Scurvy of system failure. Don't kid yourself Scurvy D Dog there are plenty of software failures both in the terrain database and glitches that can and do effect the logic in these things. I have seen them on many occasions. In fact the manufacturer even has an MEL for the EGPWS as they too acknowledge it can fail Perhaps you can acknowledge it too?

You go on and on Scurvy D Dog about CTA and OCTA deliberately ignoring the real issue. That is upgrading procedural CTA where radar is available and upgrading OCTA to CTA where radar is also available. Your resistance to common sense is making you look foolish Scurvy D Dog
