Porter. That is simply not true.
In practice procedural Class E in the USA in the terminal area in IMC is hardly any different to what pilots do in our present system in G.
Have you ever stood behind a controllor in the US who is doing procedural terminal Class E ? I would doubt it from what you say.
Captain Yes. If we are going to introduce some low level terminal class E we will need to copy the most evolved system in the world.. Otherwise it will fail,
Yes. I would be happy with procedural class E. Especially considering it brings in mandatory transponder requirements for all aircraft.
