Yes. It’s an attempt to go back to a system where radio arranged separation can be utilised between IFR and VFR aircraft in uncontrolled airspace
That’s what we had before the AMATs changes of the early 90s .
It’s actually impossible to do this without employing lots more staff and going back to the old or similar full position procedures .
Under ICAO if traffic information is required for safety reasons to IFR aircraft on VFR aircraft it requires a minimum of class D airspace. And it costs money'!
These fools are attempting to invent a zero cost system using the fare paying public as guinea pigs.
They are so ignorant that they think that they can design airspace procedures and dimensions on a “ voting” system using people who have no training or knowledge of airspace design.
The problem was generated by Airservices producing a map with the ATC frequency boundaries back on without even thinking how the half wound back system would work.
It can’t. That’s why no other country in the world has such a system.
Wait for the next step- 50 nm CTAF radius to 10,000’
