But I reckon there are no proper rules for operating this airspace from the Melbourne centre.
So, here we have an eminent Australian, a high-profile individual who a lot of people not involved with aviation look up to, and who has "captured" journalists at The Australian, "reckoning" that there are no proper rules for this airspace? Howabout (sorry, Howabout), you do some research and get back to us with a proper assessment of the rules used there before scaring the uninformed?
See the current ministers radar directive.
That'd be the Dick Smith directive foisted upon John Anderson and handed on down through ministers since? The Yanks might like to run C with radar. There has never been any suggestion or edict that C can
only be run with radar. In fact, as I have pointed out but which you refuse to even acknowledge, C has been run quite successfully without radar for eons. Less traffic capacity, but then, this is only Australia.
Anyway, don't worry, ADS-B will fix all that.
