13. Are there any additional considerations or issues that you believe the CAA should take into account when deciding on its final proposed amendment?
Are there any additional considerations or issues that you believe the CAA should take into account when deciding on its final proposed amendment?
I have always thought aircraft flying South in the MLLR, should be flying towards the west side of the corridor and Northern traffic towards the East. This puts the pilots facing each other on their left hand sides.
