mgahan, in reply to your post #241, it's always the selective use of language.
It takes a while to navigate around, but off the north-east coast those Canadians that are held up as paragons of virtue, in respect of NAS, have permanent Class F over water and it's been there for yonks. And guess what? You need a clearance beyond 'territorial airspace' to enter!
I researched this years ago when I was involved in the dreaded NAS with all the associated BS. The airspace is on the charts and the requirements are in their AIP and associated docs. F has been there forever!
Additional to the argument is NZ. They originally introduced MOAs with a requirement inside 12nm for a clearance. Check out the current 'Aeronautical Handbook.' They've amended the requirement for all NZ registered aircraft to gain a clearance, no matter how far outside 'territorial waters.' Despite all the bumf, we are not 'unique,' but it takes a while to discover that the wool has been well and truly pulled in respect of 'airspace reform!'
