Mr Dick, T W-S to massive job losses to NextGen to your NAS to ADS-B to Class E to Proserpine to hiding behind pseudonyms to legal threats to Bankstown to Victor 1 to QANTAS back to legal threats and back again to your NAS and Bankstown in 9 posts, you sound like you are running out of time?

Airspace, AOPA USA

“Class D airspace surrounds airports with operating control towers and weather reporting service that are not superseded by more restrictive Class B or C airspace.
Most Class D airspace extends from the surface to 2,500 feet above ground level (agl), and typically has a circular diameter of 8.6 nautical miles (10 statute miles).
Aircraft must establish and maintain two-way radio contact with the control tower before entering or operating in Class D airspace. Weather minimums are the same as for Class C airspace.”

8.6nm? same rules within as Australian GAAP’s, why would you insist on an airspace reform that would further restrict heli and fixed wing transits, make the frequency congestion and traffic management almost impossible for non-radar towers like Bankstown? Airspace reform via “threaten legal action”, crash or crash through without any real thought.
