I think perhaps the title of this thread should be "CASA should get OUR money back!"

The mess we have at the moment is not what Ambidji recommended. It's been done, as far as I can tell, on a whim of someone who wants to look as if he is doing something, but having no understanding of operating in a GAAP, (thanks to not consulting with the GAAP operators on what the outcomes of this capping decision would be) has actually made the area around the GAAP much less safe.

If there is a MAC at an inbound reporting point he will have blood on his hands. Perhaps that is what it will take to stop this madness. The safety of everybody are being put at grave risk by this, never mind the loss of 40% of earning capacity.

Dick, I've operated in Class D in the USA and learned to fly in a Class A TMA. GAAP works best for the circumstances we have here, parallel runways etc, in my experience
