You obviously don't know how the system has worked for decades, Dick.

The frequencies went back on the charts so that VFR could monitor IFR climbers and descenders who are "not yet in the vicinity...

Gawd this is getting ridiculous. We do not need E airpsace all over Oz, nor do we need no DTI services for IFR in Class G.

Most of us think all we need is a separate freq for circuit operations at...

Yes, I do, because that's what CTAFs are for. Away from the CTAF and above 5000ft, carriage of VHF by VFR is required above 5000ft; AIP ENR 1.4 section 4 refers.

It's called a Multicom. :ok:


No, overflyers (including me) would be on the Area and hear any climbing/descending activity. They (and me) are just not interested in the circuit traffic.
