The Chaser
I did not state that under ICAO in Class C that VFR are separated from VFR. I said it very clearly,
please understand that under ICAO in Class C, IFR must be separated from VFR
I understand the reason they have target resolution procedures is so the aircraft can get close enough together so visual separation can be used.
Australian air traffic controllers know it’s virtually impossible to see a small aeroplane three miles away, and so this means they basically separate them by three miles.
Wouldn’t it be better to have the US procedure where aircraft can be allowed to get closer together so they can sight each other?
If it works at Sydney airport, do you reckon it might work at Williamtown?
By the way, can someone tell me how much airspace the tower actually controls at Williamtown? Is it out to the circuit boundary or is it just the runway? I would love to know.
