Griffo,
You had me stumped there for a while ... but I finally worked it out
I, for one, would also like to join the "No E Without Surveillance" campaign
I would even go so far as to say that I would probably consider supporting Class E above Broome,
IF:
- There was a surveillance facility in place
- Every aircraft entering the airspace had a black box that allowed it to be surveilled ... by ATS
How we would deal with aircraft that couldn't carry a black box ... I'm not sure. But I'd support attempts to try and find a way.
So, in summary, I'm not against change. I support careful and appropriate change. I don't even think ICAO had envisaged, nor encouraged, the use of Non-surveillance Class E airspace.
