Does that mean some then?
No, that's not what I meant.

The scale of the proposed airspace grab which Alan Patridge Intergalactic is seeking for its tiny handful of daily CAT flights is totally disproportionate.
The statistics are all in the public domain. These are not made up figures, it's actual data. A320, B737 and B757s are not what I would call small aircraft. We are talking public transport flights here, with hundreds of people a day travelling in and out of Norwich Airport (As well as the scheduled Dash 8s and F70s, private charters, flying training and offshore helicopters).

My personal view is that CAS is the best way to provide a safe service to all of these flights as well as to those transiting the area.
