How we get there with equipage and training is the discussion.
Hear that Airservices are about to completely rollback the surveillance approach service they introduced in 2013/14 into Rockhampton and Mackay. Only operated after the tower shut using E airspace to 700'. In fact it has been turning on and off as a service recently - not sure why. How much did all that cost to set up and now they are turning it off! Seems like a large waste of money! May be its progress? But who is accountable for the money spent? How much was spent?
