Just the where and the when now.
You have to wonder how much longer the farce can continue. No, I’m deadly serious now, it is daily becoming more and more apparent that in a cynical, bonus driven, self indulgent, smug, satisfied manner ASA management are robbing the Australian public blind. The ADSB rollout is a classic, huge costs to industry without either infrastructure or system in place except where there is little need for the service – in the upper flight levels on major trunk routes, which were already well served with radar coverage. Tasmania remains subject to procedural separation, where it matters most i.e. at the one place where all aircraft are bound to go – the airport approach paths. Think about it, miles and miles of uncluttered airspace in cruise, all neatly separated, hand held by ATCO until the last critical 30 miles of descent; then you are on your own through the clouds and traffic to a very small terminal area. – Unfortunate choice of words that – terminal.
I fail, miserably, to understand why full service to the low levels cannot be provided, where practicable. ASA seem to get through enormous amounts of money paying consultants for this, experts for that – it begs the question; ‘if those employed by ASA are not ‘expert’, then what the duck are they doing working there? It’s madness; it’s like telling a patient that the diagnosis was provided by someone who, in reality, is the tea lady and they will need to bring in a qualified expert to do the operation.
Aye, no matter, Darren will no doubt take a selfie in front of the burning wreckage, big smile, with caption, ‘great opportunity to try out the new Lycra hi-viz gear’.
Out flew the web and floated wide-
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.
