The only way in which this could make any practical difference is if mandatory calls - either time or distance based - are (re)introduced. Otherwise pilots will continue to use their discretion as to what calls are necessary, and where. And that assumes they’re radio-equipped in the first place.

Let’s reintroduce mandatory calls and name these mega-CTAFs ..... hmmmm.... MMBZs - Mega Mandatory Broadcast Zones.

Or maybe CTAF(RCCR)s - Radio Carriage and Calls Required.

Or we could use the latest cliche: MBZ 2.0.

I imagine some creative genius in CASA will come up with a Galapagos name.
