So why is that, in Canada, the Multicom frequency and the ‘default’ CTAF frequency are different? They are 126.7 and 123.2, respectively.
I guess the Canadians have a culture and training that understands that option?
In the system you envisage, triadic, if an IFR aircraft is inbound to an aerodrome with a CTAF that is not 126.7, will that aircraft be broadcasting on 126.7 when passing through 5,000’?
My call on the MULTICOM (note: in uppercase)
if deemed necessary, would be well above 5000ft. By 5000ft I would be on the CTAF.
The key to this is education and training. Something that CASA have never undertaken to the extent necessary. They have very few that understand what is needed and what needs to be taught by whom and when. They have never addressed standardisation in any shape or form!
