Mr Smith
You would remember when you were the Chairman of the then Civil Aviation Authority, there was much discussion regarding ICAO regulation, and Australian compliant legislation regarding the definition of:-
Air Traffic Control Service
Do you remember [you must] a letter to:-
ALL ATC STAFF,
[authored by the then Deputy Chief Executive A F Rainbird],
dated 18 June 1990.
The subject:- "SEE AND AVOID" - AMENDMENT OF REGULATIONS
CAR 98 (1) and CAR 163A featured.
Do you still maintain you are unaware of why Australian air traffic controllers cannot provide
FAA style Air Traffic Services?
Moreover, do you also maintain that ‘preventing collisions’ [as per ICAO] is not the role of air traffic controllers in VMC, rather pilots [all] should 'see and avoid'?
As you [and your alter ego
mjbow] would say:-
I look forward to your advice
