Tyler and JetRacer And that's probably the reason we have never installed any class E terminal airspace to low levels - both of you and others are convinced the 1930s system of traffic information in G is better!
I don't agree. As a pilot of a high performance jet I would prefer to be following ATC instructions when in IMC - not be forced to become my own air
traffic controller and arrange separation with no prescibed standard from up to 3 or 4 other aircraft .
I am not suggesting we put every IFR approach in a minimum of class E. Why not try it at a few locations? We would soon find out if lots more staff are needed and also see what delays occur.
From my experience of studying airspace systems throughout the world the FAA system is the best. Over 50% of their instrument approaches have the IAF below radar coverage yet delays are no different than in Aus from my experience.
