Howabout, I will say it again - There is no measurable extra expense in changing GAAP to FAA class D.
This then means your conspiracy theory fails.
Yes, I find GAAP gives high levels of safety- it should because it was modelled closely on FAA NAS class D at Van Nuys.
A minor change will bring GAAP in line with FAA class D.
It is then sensible to change our other non radar airports to the same airspace and procedures as the FAA class D that replaced the GAAP procedures.
Then we have one simple set of procedures for all non radar towers.-pretty sensible.Higher compliance will no doubt result.
And class E in lower risk link airspace is surely better than the class G we have at RPT jet airports like Ballina and Ayers Rock!
