I hear what you're saying, but to call non-radar airspace such as
MOST Class D "controlled" is (again, IMHO) wrong.


I don't have any figures, but I'd expect most Class D airspace does have
radar coverage. In any case, Class D airspace that does not have radar
coverage is just as controlled as Class D airspace that does.



Call it "semi-controlled" or "ground separation only" or "we hope to
see you with our binoculars" -- do anything but call it "controlled"
...cuz it ain't.


Do you consider Class E airspace uncontrolled as well? How do you
differentiate between Class E and Class G?
