The late and great Dave Bromley wouldn't have had a bar of it.
By going E+, we have once again created a unique
Australian model that's even harder to get one's head around
than the simple version that preceded it.
The AIP Supp refers to "controlled airspace" which in itself is
misleading. There is no way E airspace can be regarded as
controlled when VFR's can be in there amongst controlled IFR
traffic. How do IFR aircraft comply with clearances and be expected
to take avoiding action at the same time?
This lunacy is not necessary. The tough old guys of Civilair (now retired)
are who you need right now. They may not have been "articulate"
but they knew how to look after their members.
