Dick,
You have gotta be joking?!
Class C without radar is a sham as a VFR aircraft can transit the airspace without detection by ATC.
You reckon a VFR not complying with one of THE most basic rules of the sky, not to enter controlled airspace without a clearance, is a sham, but requiring me to look out of the window in the same location to avoid the same VFR in E isn't? Your arguments become more farcical as time goes on, Dick.
So here we are, in a bugsmasher, in the middle of Australia (
very complex airspace there and at KTA/BME...not), and we inadvertently fly through the C steps. I find that very unlikely. Much much more unlikely than a "Free in GE" pilot would deliberately fly through non-radar E talking to no-one and scaring the willys out of me when he (hopefully) pops up on TCAS.
Fortunately I think most pilots, VFR included, are responsible enough not to transit through C without a clearance, radar or not. Perhaps it is only the "Free in GE" brigade who think that scooting thru procedural C would be the norm.
C never has required a radar. Think outside the square, you fundamentalist. Non-radar C, totally ICAO compliant, provides a very cost-effective (dare I say it, affordable safety) airspace regime that protects the fare-paying passenger.
