And; another REPCON – HERE-. Worth as read ---
Re P2's post – (above) – ASA answer para 1 whilst smug and complacent at least makes some sense:-
“Airservices has published contingency plans for many years. Version 1 of the current National Air Traffic Service (ATS) Contingency Plan was published in 2005 and detailed that TRA will not routinely be used to manage Air Traffic Services (ATS) Contingencies. The approach was based on the premise that airspace retained its ATS Classification, allowing Airservices to control access to airspace.”
But the following para :-
“This premise was altered in 2008 when there was a change in regulation which resulted in determinations in respect of airspace of any class have no effect during any period in which ATS are not provided.”
-: just defies understanding – an educated guess could be made – but if push came to shove in a legal stoush related to any sort of 'close encounter' – well.!
Seems to me there are a whole swag of 'get-out-of-jail' cards being played rather than address he core of the matter – to properly provide the service the public and the air services pay for; and that would include Halfwit's and his dodgy accountant mate bonus for running on empty tanks. Well done ATCO's – time for Civil Air to weigh in methinks.
