Ratsore. You don't seam to understand. He was prohibited from submitting a flight plan over Willy. Full stop.
And nothing has changed in over 30 years.
So naturally the Willy controller can't plan for an aircraft he or she knows nothing about.
I have flown a few times around the world and only in Australia have I heard the words. " remain outside controlled airspace".
In the current ERSA it still states that a pilot must not plan over Willy if the airspace is active. This is outrageous . Often the airspace is active but no military aircraft are flying.
I am committed to getting this fixed before more lives are lost.
I don't blame the military controllers - I made this clear in the interview- I blame those who have the responsibility to introduce modern and safe procedures - and don't .
Yes it's easier to say nothing.
