ATC have the power still to guide you through the VFR appraoch points ???? .
From what I heard at the seminar, it seems likely that inbound calls from points other than the old reporting points, (where many of the accidents were that brought all of this on) will not be accommodated and you will most likely be politely requested to go to the old approach points. Looks like anything outside the circuit is still to be 'sort yourselves out boys and girls' - and if you crash into someone its your fault for not maintaining separation because you are VFR. Works great, until you get 3 or 4 aircraft at the same approach point at the same time. Situations with high wing silightly lower than low wing being channelled to the same point remain inherently dangerous.
We'll be much safer taxiing around on the ground now though, at 5 knots, with separation and clearance to anywhere with a yellow line on it.
The review of pricing at GAAP airports... er sorry Class D, will be interesting when all of this has to be paid for.
