An Interested PARTY you are wrong! What is being done now at Bankstown is the most f***ing dangerous thing possibly ever. We have inexperienced pilots (some mayb on first area solo!) who are being MADE to HOLD at an INBOUND REPORTING POINT. That is not safe, it is the most dangerous thing I can imagine...
not to mention when departing the zone to the west, picking a track overhead the old YHOX as your crossing the river climbing to 1000ft. , only to hear a Duchess being denied entry and to hold, then meeting said duchess overhead YHOX! head to head at the same level.
next time when departing the zone, when clear of the western zone border, the safest option might now be to descent to 500ft till well clear of the holding area. safe! i have never felt so fearful when flying aircraft as i have been entering and departing YSBK now.
