It's by good fortune there's never been a midair up there, I think. I heard the Caravan driver last year on the radio immediately after the near miss - he even sounded like he fouled his pants - can't blame him
It really annoys me you guys see this happen and CASA does nothing, whats more is what are you guys up there doing to stamp it out?
I totally agree that Airservices are doing nothing for safety in respect to charging to file an IFR flight plan, this issue really needs to be addressed in a constructive manner, by all interested parties within the industry.
Sure I would like to have no airways charges but unfortunately they are here to stay for IFR I dare say. Again what bothers me about this comment is that folks in GA think this is a significant problem. If your business is that marginal that ASA IFR charges are the game breaker well its time to get out of the game.
