Hempy stone-head:Thanks for your valuable contribution... seeing as you want to trade juvenile insults, I am happy to respond in kind...
Umm, no I won't 
. But don't worry mate, although I travel home very regularly (twice this year for example) and fly in Aussie airspace when I do, I have not been back to sMelbourne since the RAAF let me out of there in 1981 and I have no intention of going back, so I doubt our paths will cross.
Have a happy day at Tullamarine mate,
Andy
....... stay there

Aussie Andy,
You said:
I appalud your attitude/airmanship: unfortunately, Dick Smith is fiercely trying to instil exactly the opposite: he wants a "get in, turn on the key, go flying wherever you like, and talk (and listen) to no-one" system, where everyone gets out of HIS way. In short, to hell with every other airspace user.
Your preflight planning is called good airmanship: airmanship died here in 1991 when Dick came on the scene.

Is it really so difficult to look things up before you fly? Why does this seem such a big deal for you guys, I mean its hardly onerous?...

A big problem with this new system is many high performance regional RPT aircraft (J32, B1900, Metro, E120, Kingair etc) are not fitted with TCAS and are not required to have it. Any of these aircraft could be on descent in Class E indicating 240-260 KTS with ground speeds of 300+ kts. It doesn't give the crew a lot of time to try and sight any VFR traffic!

Well they don't want me to talk to them on the other thread anymore... 
In respect of the above:
Where does it say that in the NAS documentation?
which leaves see and avoid in VMC when in E or G. So the operators of these aircraft should perhaps choose to fit some form of traffic alerting if they are operating in high density areas (whats a GNS430 cost anyway?), or if not warranted by traffic density they can continue to operate as they are I guess.
Its sad to see how p1ssed off everyone is, so there are clearly a number of political problems involved. Good luck!
