In Arnhem Land back in the day, the VFR charters were FULLSAR and multiple short hops. The pilot would call taxiing with his details for that particular hop, as he usually didn't know what that job would be until he got there. Come the revolution and VFR FULLSAR was abolished, the architects of the new system assumed responsibility for holding the SARTIME would devolve back to the charter companies, ie the "responsible person", thus saving money and those make work jobs. Instead, those cunning charter pilots just nominated a SARTIME for the end of that hop to the same FS unit that previously would have held the FULLSAR details. So nothing really changed except the colour of the Flight Progress Strip.
