Traffic. Ok I will
The only reason I bring this up is the it gives evidence of the resistance to change.
It was actually in the 1970s when I was learning to fly that I asked my instructor Lauri Mcivor why we were giving full position reports in good radar coverage at Marulen. He explained that the FS officers we were communicating to were not approved to use radar.
I queried why this was so and he told me I was the first student to ask the question- he did not really know the answer ! I decided then I would do something about it
And I did.
