It appears to be a presumption by some that OCAS is the sole playground of GA.
A free for all piece of airspace populated by light aircraft which we all have a god given right to enjoy.
This is far from the truth. a typical example is LondonDerry I have flow there in twins and jets.
Leaving BEL you are OCAS with military radar. There is no radar at Londonderry so the instrument approaches are procedural.
Flying in there you can be stacked in the hold communicating with ATC, relying on the professionalism of the crew of the other aircraft for where they are and their spacing and they in turn can see you on their TICAS.
I have been in there solid IMC holding with a 737 above and a commuter turboprop below.
To the side of Londonderry is a gliding site. all the airspace toward BEL is OCAS with only the military radar available to give these aircraft traffic info.
This is Londonderry but there are many locations like this around the UK.
Far from being a playground for us GA fraternity to squabble and fight over there are much more serious implications of flying in IMC OCAS than some imagine.
Secondly I believe in one rule for all not pressure group rule and friends in high places turning a blind eye to certain sectors of aviation while expecting more capable sectors in aviation to adhere to stricter regulations at our costs.
It is more a case of you lot being brought into line with what we have to adhere to and already pay for.
