As far as the NT/NV situation goes, (a/c routing direct from UMBEL) this is a very sensitive subject at present. The civil pilots would probably tell you the same, it is extremely hard work for both pilot and controller, the pilot is sometimes being asked to perform manoeuvres that the Red Arrows would be proud of!! It isnt an ideal situation, but until it is resolved i am afraid (as much as it pains me to say) we will all just have to cope. (as usual)
How can your CAA sit and let this situation continue? It sounds like you operate with a safetylevel common to some developing countries. Well, perhaps this is what you get when you have allmost water-tight bulkheads between the MIL/CIV control and airspace structure.......
Have anyone looked at having one service for BOTH "customers", it seems a bit odd when the airspace available is so limited, and traffic levels are as high as you say?
Captain Stable in onto something......
Better duck again.....
