Agrajag. Don't you have any worries about the 747 incident I quoted where the controllers attention was taken by VFR announcements?

Obviously the controllers have to listen to all these VFR calls- are you convinced this can have no effect on there proper job of keeping IFR airline aircraft apart?

If so. Hope you are correct. Love to see the evidence.

By the way. When you fly through the training area west of BK or up the light aircraft lane do you rely on radio arranged separation? Do you make position reports every few minutes in these areas? If not how do you avoid a collision?

Or are you going to tell me that where the collision risk is greatest your system of radio calls does not work?
