It seems to me Dick wants all the towers to become the same, so you can make them all ICAO D, FAA D or all GAAP.
All GAAP wont be acceptable = NO GOOD
ICAO D = Great for the existing D, but unworkable for the current GAAPs so NO GOOD
FAA D = Less service for the RPT/IFR in the current D environs and not so much different from GAAP anyway, so no real gains and some real losses....So NO GOOD
What is there to be gained here then????
Who comes up with these studies? And why do they get whisked into reality without a really good industry wide consultation.
I think someone sold the new CASA head a good sugar coated study in the aftermath of a serious accident and without taking time to digest it all acted on it. ooops!
How about we ditch the departure calls from D into G, and go back to ICAO D and GAAPs.....But employ some more ATC's for
sake! Stop wasting money on studies and BS and put it at the coal face!
