The ATC people at AV strongly advised CASA against setting up
the airspace in it's current form.
Deathly silence.
The ATC people at AV have repeatedly asked CASA how to they
are supposed operate the airspace as it is depicted in the
documentation provided.
Deathly silence
The ATC people at AV appear to treat E as D when necessary to
the extent of instructing VFR aircraft to vacate the area when
things get tight.
The ATC people at AV have been told it is not good enough to provide
traffic in E and D airspace. If aircraft collide, then, despite all their efforts
to abide by the rules pertaining to that airspace, they will be
responsible. When CASA is advised of this
Deathly silence.
It is patently obvious that the political agenda prevails even though it is
totally blind to common sense. CASA will be in court, but they do not
have to face the liabilities that ATC at AV have to endure.
So despite all the overwhelming operational evidence that the
AV architecture is inherently dangerous, CASA are too spineless
and blatantly ignorant to make a stand.
The move to have a separate OAR has been the most hazardous
and reckless decision affecting air safety in this country.
P-Dubby This is why I'm critical of Civilair. Their members
are under real risk and little seems to be done about it.
