URGENT ADVISE to the NAN CAT AIRSPACE USERS ORGANISATIONS
In function of a number of personel contacts in the EU coridors do I have the folowing ADVISE for the VFR operating NON CAT AIRSPACE ORGANISATIONS;
VFR operations in a number of FAB development are going to be EXCLUDED from the MANAGED( CONTROLED AIRSPACE ICAO CLASS C,D and E in the opinion of the leading ATCO's involved in the development of AIRSPACE,INFRASTRUCTURE,SERVICES and ATC reorganisation.
Also during contact with the ATCO involved in the ETF a similar aproche was promoted toward the VFR operators
SECURITY EXPERTS ( Spaniche Security SME) are now involved in revieuwing the rules to be aplied toward the LIGHT PRIVATE AIRCRAFT in function of the TERORISME posiblity's demonstrared by the AUSTIN PLANE CRASH in the IRS building on 18/02/2010 !!!

A)-Development of proposal for 8,33 Khz below FL195 for VFR operations.

The intention to operate in the NON MANAGED AIRSPACE ( UNCONTROLLED) in VFR
The development by the AVIONICS INDUSTRY of a systeme # SENSE AND AVOID# without any AIRCRAFT either if it is NON SSR/MODE-S equiped for the UAV and maybe a very intresting device in any VFR operating AIRCRAFT
Activity forcasted and devolped in AERIAL WORK OPERATIONS instead of AIRCRAFT such as HELICOPTERS or AIRPLANE important for the SME
C)-Aplication of the principe # GRANDFATHER RIGHTS# as requested by IAOPA-EUR toward DG-7 in the 80ths ( 1982/1983 )
