Fuji. I was referring to the US system. Just another example of how concrete minds have done everything they can to prevent change and stop the best from overseas being copied.
They have also prevented FAA style IFR Flight Planned aircraft climbing VMC in E without a clearance by claiming that in Aus once you have given a taxiing call on an IFR plan you are then IFR and cannot enter E even in VMC without a clearance. Once again sheer bastardry to damage Australian aviation .
A Squared. Sounds pretty sensible to me as the calls are not on an ATC frequency. It’s all part of “ free in G” which has been stopped here!
