As an outsider to the negotations if thats what they are called there appears to be a lot of naivety and sticking heads in the sand with the proposals for the EIR.
On the face of it all the EIR seems to offer the VFR pilot the ability to go high, simplify his trip by not needing to circumnavigate chunks of airspace.
The pilot gets better radio reception simplified radio and better nav reception.
But there appear to be potential pitfalls where there is a lot of sticking heads into the sand and why?
Because we cannot have anything which can be seen as a mini IR which competes or treads on the feet of its bigger brother.
Again EASA not facing up to their mandate of safety.
