Those who do fly in the region should know about it. There was extensive education @ RAPAC & via the various industry associations.

Try dropping into KA or BRM and claim you didn't realise CTA & a TWR existed -
Not a valid comparison. CTA is not a new or revived concept. And the people who usually fly in the region aren't the people who need to know.

But for this thread I would not have known that the AFIZ concept had reared its head again, this time even larger for 'extra safety'. Heck, why not make the Broadcast Area 30nms radius up to the transition level, for even more 'safety'.

I agree with Jabba.
