But to get anything else means the airspace isn't class G.

Maybe a better solution should be a risk assessment of the suitability for 50 plus pax aircraft to be operating into these Class G airports at all.

Lest face it the only reason they are is to reduce costs. So they are willing to take an increased risk for a lower landing and handling fee.

If ATS can't give a safe service stop pretending you can, trying to fudge the basic premise of class G airspace is never going to work.

And to add I also believe that CAT pilots should have further training and also a rating similar to the LVO rating to be able to operate into them commercially. Although this wouldn't initially help as the UK services are so far away from any known international standard most European pilots still won't have a clue what's going on. But at least they would know that they have no real protection.
