Just why is the fence such an issue all of a sudden?
Has there been a sudden influx of aggressive sheep in the neighborhood or something?
We are talking a heliport here....right?
Is there a perimeter fence all the way around every other airfield in the UK?
TCAS,
So I was have to assume all the GPS approaches to uncontrolled airports in the USA would be ilegal under the CAA rules then?
ATC is provided for IFR aircraft by means of either Center or Approach Control nearest to the uncontrolled airport.....some uncontrolled airports have Unicom stations that can provide traffic advisories but are not part of the ATC system.
In the UK...can you not operate IMC outside Controlled Airspace without ATC control? Re-phrased....however did the operators manage to operate day in...day out....all these years of lovely UK Winter weather without the facility being "licensed"?
The argument should be on "how can we make this happen...." and not "this cannot happen because.....".
But then that is the very essence of the difference between the US/FAA and the UK/CAA.
