Is Australian airspace ever left alone long enough for anyone to get a handle on it.
It seems we now have Air Services inviting an American couple, who write syllabi for trainee American pilots, to come and brief Australians about a system which is neither totally Australian or totally American.

Sounds like a turkey hunt, with the turkeys trying to organise it.

Pre-Dick, I thought the system worked fairly efficiently from both the operational and cost point of view.
Since the "user pays" systems were introduced, operationally it has become a muddle, and the user finds he is paying for MORE than just the services he uses - he's subsidising experimental forays and snake oil shows!
