Dick there is no way you can make the claim that your NAS would have negated this accident because it was just that...an accident. At least with inbound reporting points you have an idea where to look for other traffic..a bit like alerted see and avoid...if there were any number of 'acceptable' inbound tracks to a GAAP aerodrome you'd have no idea where other traffic might be or where to look.

That could easily lead to more separation breakdowns not less. Just like having completely anonymous GA aircraft sharing E airspace with RPT jets could, and in fact did, lead to separation breakdown there.

If something can happen it eventually will happen. Hence we have procedures in place like VFR reporting points and different classes of airspace to minimise the chances. Note I said minimise...you're no more likely to completely negate all accidents in the air than you're to regulate 100% road safety.

You're being your usual disingenuous self.
