As for your
It was a misleading comment that the public will think exactly what he said "controlled every inch to the ground"
The very next paragraph in that article said this:
In relation to lower classification airspace, he said "air traffic control provides pilots of instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft with known traffic information in relation to other IFR aircraft".
As for misleading comments, what about the weeks of tripe that has been printed by Mr Higgins? Not one word that almost every jet airport in the country has an automatic weather radio system, Directed Traffic in our Class F is far safer than the implied Septic Tank G airspace to "hopefully avoid a mid-air crash" and giving Joe Bloggs the baggage-chucker a mic with no training in traffic delivery is going to solve all the (non-existent) problems at uncontrolled airports. Keep posting; your credibility reduces every time.
