Dick Head change

Under the NAS, MBZ's which are currently promulgated at busy airports and which cost nothing and promote safety hugely, will be taken from us - What a completely stupid idea!

Obviously the issue here is that Broome is going to lose its MBZ but will be too dangerously busy as a CTAF, therefore a tower is needed - at huge cost!

Question is - what about all the other MBZ's which as I say, cost nothing and promote safety hugely, but are just not quite as busy as Broome?

They become CTAFs - where you never will know who's just about to run into you, and were IFR jocks break visual at 1000' head to head with no-radio ultralights

In other words, the Broome tower is almost an admission by these unsupported NAS Fwits that NAS will be dangerous for us all.

Why the hell do we need this change - or is it change for change's sake - or change for Dick's sake.
