So how is it now difficult to never require contact with ATC?


Because contact with ATC is not required to enter Class E airspace VFR.

Well, since I live miles from any airport that's NOT B or D, that would
be a little difficult, now wouldn't it? I know you understand the
concept of controlled airspace to the surface.

Make that, I know you understand the concept of B or D airspace to the
surface.

Just like telecoms, electricity etc, right?

How about, renewable franchise licences with 5 year contracts, open
bidding competition for the franchise to operate an ATC for said
period. Infrastructure and services provided by possibly different
firms.

Naaah, can't happen.


There's no competition there.

The competition is in the bidding stage.

Not at all. Move.

I do. Would you like me to explain it to you?

That's not good enough. The user doesn't get to bid.

Why would I want to do that. I don't have a problem with talking to
ATC. I'm simply pointing out, not to you, that avoiding controlled
airspace and ATC is not as easy as some people are making it seem.

Don't be an ass.

It can be very easy. You asked how it's not hard to fly 1000 hours in a
summer without entering Class B, C, or D airspace. One must assume you
asked because you did not know.

But you didn't answer my question.

How would *I* do it when I'm not remotely located near uncontrolled
airspace?
