This is all very interesting but the biggest concern to me is the no direct traffic information in G airspace. Just think on descent passing 8500 feet still in cloud exiting E airspace. Some one flying his PA28 at 6000 feet on his PIFR, you are unable to determine what frequency your meant to be on because the FIA boundaries have been removed from the map. This is a very unpleasant thought for me!!!!!!

If you look at each of the individual changes you probably think that safety is not compromised but I can see in the future reading an ATSB report about a PA 28 hitting a Dash 8 in G airspace and all the items such as: no direct traffic information, no FIA boundaries on maps, aircraft operating on different QNH settings being listed as latent failures......... I'm sure Dr James Reason and his reason model will agree............
