The Big Sky and the shallow pockets of air operators is why there is no D at places like Port Hedland and Mildura.
Then we are in furious agreement.

I’m addressing the point of view, expressed by some, that radio and visual separation are an either/or thing, and that if you’re looking out you’re excused from using the radio. Attempting to discredit the value of radio usage is mischievous at best.
