Dick:
And to others, I was clearly referring to mid airs "in the bankstown control zone"
Your "1 MAC in 40 years" comment still doesn't stack up. Apart from the 2RN accident, all the other listed MACs occurred in the Bankstown control zone (circuit area).
Frank Arouet:
This didn't happen in the GAAP did it?
You're correct in that it was technically outside the control zone however it could be argued that, as both aircraft were conforming to a recognised IRP and one of the 2RN aircraft was in contact with the tower, they were operating under GAAP.
