And now we enter the crux of the argument...a political imperative!
Not because it's safe, or cost effective...because it is political.
Who applied the pressure? Whoes policy is it? Certainly not Anderson, or Albanese. They do not know a SODPROP from a TURBOPROP unless someone tells them..as is always with Parliament.
Ego is a dirty word...especially if it is all that drives a "Policy Change"
Why would the OAR institute a broadcast zone for class E?...Why the workround...if the program needs a work round then it needs rewriting or scrapping and reverting back to what works. FAA D towers of the same level of activity as BRM have approach
radar services.
Please Mr Smith et al..point me to an aerodrome in the US that is as busy as Broome that has non surveillance E and no approach...what is it called..a TRACON facility..an aerodrome that I can verify as same.. a hint..we already know the number of movments for
RPT into Broome. If you use the same formual as the FAA what would be the level of service provided for the environs around this D tower...it certainly will not be E.
