Dick you'd get more respect from me if you didn't misrepresent the situation at places like Ballina.
"There isn’t even a radio operator on the ground at these airports to confirm that
the aircraft radio is working correctly and give local weather conditions". Dick, there's an AFRU at Ballina and an AWIS (QNH, wind speed/direction, temp, dewpoint, cloud) on 134.8. Don't need the person on the ground. More than enough for a competent pilot to handle. As for multiple IFR arrivals in IMC - again rare to happen at Ballina and easily handled the way it is handled at Narromine or Birdsville or Charleville....
The problem is there is no problem.
But don't let the facts get in the way.
