To a degree. This is “free in G” as i have often mentioned. We have 126.7 because I picked it after my North Pole flights. Don’t tell anyone otherwise we will have to wind back to some old Aus frequency from the 60s!
Note. In Canada 126.7 is for all G. Not just below 5000’. It would not work if just below 5000’. And they do not have an Aus style DTI.
Of course they have a separate CTAF frequency . I have always said we copy the best and incorporate with whatever we already do better!
More importantly the Canadians do not have ATC frequency boundaries marked on charts and they have vast areas without low level radar. Sounds impossible I know.
The ARG decided it was better to follow the US system and not have prescriptive dimensions around a CTAF. Otherwise using the Australian mentality they would have to be huge and create more problems than they would solve . We now have experience of that!
