Hello again, Max!
OK Max, hello again!

This air space discussion is about the following quote.

It is like on the road: The same road is used by “private” and commercial drivers, and if I (private) collide with a taxi cab (professional) we both die, so we had better should talk to each other beforehand…
The only good example I find in a short search is the referenced document. http://www.egelsbach-airport.com/download/EDFE_HPA.pdf There is a slide that shows the IFR arrivals and departures for Frankfurt. If we use the “same road”, it is only after we have been invited onto it and then under the careful eye of the airspace owner.

But, this is not really the object of the discussion. It’s interesting but irrelevant to this thread, which is about the utility/necessity of GPS for VFR navigation. You, presumably with a GPS and a company policy of “no paperwork below 10,000ft”, still enter into conflict with other traffic. You do not see this traffic until your TCAS tells you about it.

If you are in Class E, you are both responsible for separation. How would GPS help?
