"
Smith’s friend and co-pilot on the flight to Ballina, former US Air Force F-16 fighter pilot and airline captain Richard Woodward, says the Australian system “drives me nuts”.
“You’ve got this very advanced national air traffic control system but, instead, you have pilot*s flying around in clouds saying to each other, ‘Hi, I’m here, where are you, let’s work out how not to crash into each other’,” Woodward says."
Well I have never heard anyone say anything of the kind on CTAF or in G or elsewhere, People will read this absolute inaccurate drivel and believe it!
Is Mr Woodward on this forum? If so, please stand up.
And having a CA/GRO (a very experienced former SATCO) at Jandakot didn't prevent one aeroplane landing on top of the other, something he had no power to prevent. Thank goodness we got the tower back after that little experiment.
