you seem to think do-it-yourself calling-in-the-blind radio procedures in G are safer than having ATC in a tower actually controlling circuit area and runway traffic.
No ..........
  • at BRM aircraft don't call "in the blind", they talk to the CAGRO and get a directed traffic information service within the 30NMs and
  • I made no mention of the ATC TWR service in Class D, which is clearly an improvement, however:
I was referring to the overlying Class E, and said
in particular "standard" Class E would mean no communication required with ATC for VFR - only at best monitoring - and as previously outlined even no-radio types could be in the E.
“I’m over the 28th sandhill about 15 miles to the east heading north”)
You are making VFR aircraft look foolish, and not doing them any favours.
