P.S. We're still waiting to see those miraculously modern US procedural sep standards......

Le ping. The reason I ignore you is that you don't even have the integrity and confidence to make such requests under your real name.

There is nothing to stop anyone on this site from using their real name at any time. I and others are suspicious of those who don't when it's clear that there would be no fair reason to hide the truth!

Or could it be you so lack self confidence that you are simply not game to be open and honest ? If so I feel sorry for you.

My real name is Dirk Danger

Dick, as has been pointed out to you multiple times this is an anonymous forum (as far as it goes) so if you choose to play here you accept that. Many of us don't have the luxury of independent wealth and need our jobs to put bread on the table - managers can be terribly vindictive over petty things and have been so in the past to people I've worked with.

As Plazbot says I could use a name that sounds genuine but isn't and you'd be none the wiser. Who are you or others to decide there is no fair reason to not use a real name?

You can take it or leave it, I don't particularly care, but as you're the one making claims about US procedural standards you need to pony up some solid evidence. Or what do you have to hide?

Well, that's weird. I could've sworn that not so long ago, Dick had a crack at someone over their anonymity on this forum. The conditions of the forum (and reasons thereof) were pointed out to Dick, and Dick apologised (to his credit). And yet here we are again. WTF?!

Dick…Idon't use my real name (because I can't)but everyone knows who I am. So what difference does that make. You still ignore me.

I recall ABC radio in Tas. Who am I and what would I know. :ok:

Yep, imposition of CTA wherever more than one aeroplane might be in the vicinity of another.

LOL. Soon we'll be reopening all those Towers someone had closed down.

It's quite ok with me it you want to be anonymous but don't the expect me to treat you as I would a real person.

The point is Dick, it would make no difference whether you knew my name or not as you still wouldn't have a clue who I am. I'm just a controller who's been doing the job for 20 years and flight service before that. I don't have a public profile and I'm not in positions of influence within aviation organisations.

Thanks for retaining an interest.

Luckily most of your income comes from the 50 million + air passengers each year.

It's GA that is being destroyed .

Dick, the best thing you could have done was convince the communication minister to include a WAAS capable bent pipe transponder on either or both of the NBN birds...however, too late for that!

THE most safest situation for regional aerodromes is the availability of vertical guidance for any instrument approach.

My cj3 has fully coupled vertical guidance to the minimum now. So there is clearly no need for WAAS.

Just need to get the baro coupling certified in more aircraft I would say.

Interesting position. No use ever replying to your posts in the future. I wonder if you will treat people you know, who use this forum under pseudonym, the same way. Not many people on here use their own name.

Pera. That is rediculous

Of course I treat the people I know as real people. It's just that I couldn't be bothered to treat a question as serious if the poster is both anonymous and unknown to me. I may be wasting my time.

There is certainly a place for anonyminity on this forum- but it's completely unnecessary if someone is asking me to make an effort and post details on airspace procedures that are common and accepted in other leading aviation countries.

In North America there is lots of low level E to 700 agl well below radar coverage and there is no measurable extra delay compared to what happens in Australia in class G.

It's all about having an open mind and being prepared to copy the best from anywhere. Certainly worked with me.

OK..

So who's going to be the first unknown poster to 'out' themselves to Dick?

I'm currently shopping for Christmas so my gift to him may be a dictionary.

Dick, that's your call, and you've every right to see it that way. I'm just buggered if I can work out why you then spend so much time posting on what is almost exclusively an anonymous forum.

A dictionary for Dick? Don't be rediculous GIII!

Oh, the irony.:hmm:

Sounds like ATC is a fun place to work !
