I get the personal animosity bit - you don’t take kindly to fun being poked at you. (You must have been a real hoot to work with in the RAAF.)

What I don’t get is your apparent unwillingness to engage with the substantial operational issues.

I get it that you feel safe in operating in places like YPPD with a 20nm radius AFIZ and the belief that everyone in that chunk of airspace is on the same frequency and known to you. The removal of the security blanket of controlled airspace is less distressing in those circumstances.

What I don’t get is your apparent inability to understand that there are places in Australia that have RPT-serviced aerodromes that aren’t spread out like they are in WA, that don’t have an AFIS and don’t have the same CTAF. If you don’t have any answers to questions about how the proposed system will actually work at these places, that’s fine. But for those of us who operate in and out of these places, the answers are important.
