Morno. You are just resisting change. Our class E has mandatory transponder and mandatory radio for VFR.

Wouldn't class E be a safety plus compared to the existing class G at Ballina ?

Or do you want to keep the old 1950s system!

And how do you avoid class G? Only go to tower airports? What do you think of all the airlines that go to non tower airports?

Chief. Last time I looked about 130 IFR aircraft airborne over the Aus mainland at one time. All vertically and laterally separated . Can't do that on a runway if one misses a call and lands on top of another!
