Dick Smith Your response to me was in two parts, but I think that you have connected the dots incorrectly.
1.
Tiberius, yes, staffing is required but lots of posters on this thread seem to say that it is not possible.
This issue has been given plenty of attention on these boards, in the media, and in senate estimates, just to name a few. If You have a way of resolving it, I suggest you give Airservices and Civilair a call.
2.
Surely if we have radar where large jets are going into an airport, we should use it. If the service is provided from the Centre, it could be done efficiently.
If your definition of
efficiently includes addressing point 1 before proceeding to point 2 , then it would be more difficult to disagee with you.
