I'm confused
Is Class E designated as being "controlled airspace"? Yep. AIP ENR 1.4 section 1.1.2.
As a recent convert to RAA LSA who may have wanted to access this airspace for flight above 5,000ft in the "J" curve, I now find my need for a transponder redundant. I am happy to have saved the cash. Thanks a lot for telling me.
The 10,000 RAA pilots being not allowed into "controlled airspace" makes one wonder what this thread is really about if it is all "controlled airspace" anyway.
Obviously it's about "squark 1200" GA Student/Private, Pilots and not the "Recreational" sector so often blamed for transgressions. Possibly the same mob who supported mandatory radio for flight into Goodooga.
