Careful chaps - on the one hand we have:
"...I have never seen another aircraft in the sky when I've been close to them"
& on the other :
"the implementation of the airspace will create choke points in the skies over their heads increasing the risk of mid air collisions. Moreover, aircraft will be forced to fly lower creating more noise for their parishioners."

So, what will the answer be when DAP ask just how many non-commercial flights will be affected by the proposal, and where will these 'choke points' be?

For those who insist the size of the airspace is too big, try overlaying the Instrument Approach Charts for 09 & 27 - that should give you a clue. Bear in mind also that there is a template for each approach, designed in accordance with ICAO PANS Ops, which allows for nav errors etc. & consequently covers a much bigger area than appears on the charts.
