Howabout, some "professional" people.

They are not even game to put their names to the debate!

More like amateur fundamentalists if you ask me!

Captain Midnight, why is it that not one other country in the world shows such boundaries?

It's like having unique road rules - we don't because international tourists would not be able to drive here without a special Australian licence and that would substantially reduce tourist income.

Then again we don't want foreign pilots flying here-- might bring in overseas funds and we don't want that in aviation.

By the way, the reason no other countries show the boundaries is that safety is actually reduced by making the system complicated and unique- it's why we get so many problems in CTAF's.

Before 1991 you were told when to change frequency when full position VFR- just like IFR today..

If you want that again pay the $1.6 billion
