Lookleft. That was clearly a post from someone calling themselves the Leyland Brothers.

It was not my post or view at all.

Traffic. Yes that full position/AFIS system cost at least $70 m a year.

That means about $1.4 billion has not had to be paid out since I abolished the system.

I wanted to move to the proven low cost North American system where third party confirmation was provided by a low cost Unicom operator- a person already at the airport.

And where we have at least one airport where the free service can be provided- Lord Howe - it is prevented by CASA.

I bet lots of airports would have the service if it was non prescriptive like the USA.
