And-
Senator HEFFERNAN—This would mean more work for the air traffic controllers, by the way, because
the class E will come down, so that that plane that crashed in Benalla would actually have been under control.
As it was, that plane was on radar. There was no obligation for the air traffic controllers to tell them that they
were going to fly into a hill.
Then there was the plane that nearly crashed in Canberra, which involved
Canberra airspace when the approach radar is closed—not that there is much difference with the approach
radar. In the case of the 737 incident, in a near collision with Tinderry Peak, are you familiar with that?
Mybolds-

Dick, you just do not give up, do you?
