But of course it's not possible to provide this safer service in Australia because your closed mind says so.
Not because my closed mind says so- because the FACTS/REALITIES of the density of Australian ATCs says so. As pointed out over and over, and again on this thread, the US can provide a different service because it has already got a gazillion controllers looking at tiny pieces of sky each. Is that lay-man enough for you?
In order to provide this same service would either mean a dramatic change in the way ATC is done, in a manner specifically recommended against in reports such as the Uberlingen report (switching between approach/enroute modes with screen scale changes) or hiring an enormous number of ATCs who will sit around totally under-utilised (affordable safety???).
Of course
I happen to know that you are wrong
so what good does experts telling you different mean?
Closed mind? I know exactly who possesses it.
