BNA/MNG SFIS info
Spot on, Alpha.
Wow. All the work I did 20 years ago so we could fly with relative freedom and less complication as they do in the USA , Canada and Europe has been wasted.
My book, which comes out in November tells how I attempted to bring in the overseas system to Australia.
I will have to do an update and explain my failure!

It is a failure, Dick.
If, just once, you used your political power to its full extent, you'd get all of what you want. But you seem to be unable to stop yourself from falling, over and over, for the tricks of the dumb and dumber political parties.
Old dogs; old tricks; really, really boring, pointless journeys in circles.

Cogwheel,
Thanks
Dick, There’s your answer! Has the penny dropped yet on AsA’s biggest confidence trick.
And fills in the blanks on the A320 / Jabiru incident! Going to be pretty hard for ATSB to cover this or MNG up now! Still only four killed….
Someone in AsA must have a smidgeon of morals and ethics as apparently the VFR traffic issuance to IFRs is now done and with far more accuracy according to people that monitor the relevant sector frequency above Ballina.
How interesting!
Ex FSO Griffo your time approaches….

Cogwheel,
Thanks for that altitude - is it the same over LIS?
If so, the Jabiru reported at 5300 feet at LIS so did ATC pick it up? (CA/GRO does not have any surveillance other than FR24)
We await the ATSB report with interest........

GF, you have more faith in ATSB than I do.
The SFIS seems to me to be like buying a proven 747 or 777 and putting piston engines on them because that’s what we did in the 50s.
Surely we should be using ATCs to actually control and separate IFR aircraft. Not give a Flight Service traffic information service.
Maybe they could bring Griffitho over from the west to show them how to go back to the 50s and do it in style!

Yes. I did. However that was part of the AMATS changes which placed class E to low level so the ATCs would be separating aircraft that were in IMC.
That did not go ahead because pilots and others believed that self separation in IMC was acceptably safe.
Maybe after Mangalore there could be a different view!

Executive Summary.
• Government responsibility for CSOs has been captured by proponents of "user pays" and "affordable safety".
The Class G Trials were an example of public policy being captured by sectional interests that included AOPA, ATC Executive Management and Mr. D. Smith.
! Australia has a "World's Best" system of Directed Traffic Information provided by Flight Service.
• Airservices Australia has promoted Airspace 2000 in part as justification for limitations of is expensive TAAATS project.
• The capture of policy making has allowed a section of the aviation community to become an "economic free rider"
• The senior management of CASA have shown themselves to be influenced if not captured by those whom they are to regulate.
• The tr ials were a safety fraud - the Safety Case had flaws in it.
• BASI's recommendation to terminate the trial is to be applauded.
• An airspace bureau within the Department of transport should design airspace, CASA should regulate implementation and management of policy to ensure safety and quality processes,
• Management of airspace should reside with RAAF and Airservices Australia.
• BASI should retain its current independant role as investigator.

No, it was the simple integration of FS into ATC.
You slag off FS as 1950s level yet fully embrace 1910s unalerted see and avoid. Why aren't you vigorously pushing for VFR aircraft to adopt modern technology?

If by “ modern technology “ you mean VFR aircraft should be fitted with extra expensive equipment.
I supported such an aim at my meeting with Mr McCormack a couple of months ago. I said it would cost less than 2 cents a litre on avtur to cover such costs.
He didn’t seem that enthusiastic!
