Come on. After thirty years the RAAF have not been able to put modern internationally proven safe procedures in at Williamtown.

Aircraft still get held for up to 30 minutes orbiting over the ocean at Anna Bay because the missed approach has to be protected by their 1950' s airspace procedures .

The FAA specialists I have attempted to explain this to have been amazed at the lack of leadership in following international proven safe procedures.

I would imagine that underneath it all there must be low morale over this resistance to change.

Even the UK controllers I have spoken to say there must be incompetent leadership. What other answer could there be for not copying the best?
