Captbloggs,
Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, but when ICAO, Jepp/ASA and CASA all seem to believe that SI are safer and my personal opinion also tends to agree, SI's it is.
Sure SI's can also save money, not when the prevailing conditions are giving you a tailwind on the way in, can add quite a few track miles.
so no, I do not agree that a SI should get it
Sorry, do not understand the statement, "get it" ?
Everybody has the same priority
I thought CCT traffic had right of way.
Bet my left nut Captain D Smith can lay a hand on the statistics.
I've done many SI into airports and every single time I have been able to negotiate an amicable spot in the traffic pattern.
What are/is the logic, facts and/or statistics behind your argument ?.
"Barking up the wrong tree", says who ?.
If some here are of the opinion that some "Big" aeroplane pilots barge into the CCT via a SI, without consideration of others in the CCT, that sounds like a whole other issue. Ring their CP and complain.
I love SI and use them when ever possible, the only downside I can see with a SI is for S/E turbine aircraft, will often put you below the glide distance to the aerodrome.
