Under. Surely it's the rules that count. Is ATC allowed to accept an IFR position report from a VFR pilot and use that for separation purposes? I would not have thought so .
Can you explain to me how a Melbourne Centre controller would handle the situation I have described?
No one has -which makes me suspicious .
Would there be any objections if, with full notice, in conjunction with AOPA and local aero clubs we arranged for a series of IFR and VFR flights in and out of Hobart and Launy one night to see how the system works in practice?
Say only Three or four planes so workload is very low.
We could video the whole thing so we can learn how the unique Aussie " cheep " system works without a terminal radar system.
We could then tell the Americans how dopey they are to have a class C radar mandate!
