How can schools possibly have reliable bookings if there's such a high likelihood of delayed starts or lack of clearance into the control zone. This is not only bad for pilots but bad for business.
It's already started to happen. No start clearance for circuits yesterday so called twr on phone to see if they can give an idea of the delay. They weren't sure but said at least one hour. This may have been partly due also to the fact that the single rwy was in use. Student couldn't wait and went home. .
If it wasn't bad enough doing battle with property developers, I mean aerodrome operators, now we have the regulator squeezing the last breaths of life out of the GA training industry.
