The system is rediculous. You provide a enroute separation service where the collision risk is minimal and then force a " do it yourself" 1920's radio traffic only service in the terminal area at quite busy airports like Lismore and Ballina .

The NAS plan was to provide the safer separation service at selected airports.

Arn't you putting profits in front of safety ? Surely if half your last profit dividend was spent on providing a class E terminal service at non tower airports serviced by airline aircraft safety would be improved.
