Understand that the CTAF component of 2B has been deferred to the middle of next year on Bernie's recommendation to the Airspace Reform Group. But the replacement of Class C below FL180 with E is still a goer for November. Thank God for TCAS and mandated transponders in Class E.
Wonder who Dick (the real Minister for Aviation) is going to appoint to CASA as Mick Toller's replacement? Possibly an FAA NAS compliant retiree? If so he will get on well with the new Head ATC who, rumour has it, will be a NAS politically correct septic if John Forsyth has his way. Maybe Airservices/CASA should just relinquish Oz airspace to uncle Sam and save an awful lot of time, trouble and taxpayers money.
