You might still be mixing up your CENSAR and your AusSAR. Does
CENSAR try ringing the pilot? I thought it was AusSAR that did that (but I could be wrong).
In any event, it seems strange that in the ‘old’ system it was OK that a SARWATCH was cancelled ‘automatically’ when you landed at a destination aerodrome that happened to be a controlled aerodrome, but it’s not OK now.
