Clinton, I do not know of any class D airport in the USA which has two required entry points as we have at BK.
That's why my initial post referred to the control zone.
Remove the two compulsory reporting points and follow the proven safe FAA system and you have my support- especially if all non radar tower procedures are standardised.
AIRFOR, current government policy is clearly for the FAA nas system.
It will bring substantial advantages to Australian aviation. That's why it was selected.
FAA style D gives exceptionally safe outcomes for thousands of RPT passengers in the USA. Why would'nt it be the same here?
Keeping a system straight forward, standardised and simple for VFR pilots is the best way to go in my experience.
