Yet, unalerted see and avoid with “jet or high performance turboprops” is happening every day in Australia, either because there’s no radio or transponder requirement in some of the airspace in which they are operating, or because equipment failure or pilot error can produce the same practical result.

Bloggs: Dick’s not advocating for D. He’s pointing out that if all this unalerted see and avoid is acceptably ‘safe’, what’s the point of all this sound and fury about CTAF radii and the frequency for use at airfields that aren’t marked on charts?
