NAS in WA.
On advice from Woomera I have moved this from the NAS thread in questions.
As an ATC working the Western portion of our wide brown land, I am particularly interested to hear comment from pilots operating in this somewhat unique part of the world (particularly the Goldfields).
Is the Directed Traffic Information service we currently provide useful?
Would you miss it if it was gone? (NAS stage3)
How do you feel about the removal of the existing non-standard MBZs? (YLST, YBWG etc)
What are your thoughts on the removal of FIA boundaries from the ERC Lows - effectively ensuring that any VFR outside 10 miles from an AD will not hear your TOD broadcast?
Will you use IFR pickup or VFR on top when they become available Nov 27?
Are you aware that in IMC, if we cant issue a clearance due traffic diverting everywhere, after Nov 27 you will be stuck at F180 instead of F200, and after stage 3 (date unknown) you will be stuck there with no traffic info on anything else down there?
I would also be interested in any general bitches/suggestions for improvement.
