The LST MBZ gets very congested with 10(ish) jet/turboprop aircraft trying to get in and out of the various airstrips within a short period of time. Anyone that goes into the area on a Wed afternoon will have experienced this.

With a typical closing speed of 420kts {(280) descent, (140) Climb} with your head inside the cockpit for 20 seconds you've closed 2.3 nm - how far can YOU see ahead ??

See and avoid is a great cost saver until there is a collision.

How much local pilot input have the Australian NAS implementation team sought during this project?
