Dick, in the last 8nm it's improved, but the other 22nm is worse because we're still doing it ourselves but we won't have the information we currently have to do it with.
Think about it, 8nm miles for ATC to sort everyone out, 8nm for the flight crew to work out whether ATC are giving us good information or not. If there's a collision at Broome, it may well happen in the circuit area but it will have been set up 30nm away when the IFR pilots didn't have any information on the VFR guy to be able to get a mental picture of what is going on.
To put it another way, for all its flaws, the present "do it yourself" system allows the pilots between 7 and 15 minutes to come to grips with what is going on in the area and to come up with a plan to fit in. The new system will give pilots AND ATC between 2 and 4 minutes to do the same thing. How is that better?
