So I guess that Centre and lots of VFR pilots like me do not take the same view as you do about what “Continous 2 way” means so far as VFR aircraft in E airspace are concerned.
Yes, I know that is what everyone does. What I am wondering is what the rules actually say.
What is your interpretation of "two way communication" as required for classes A, C, D, E and IFR in G? Is it different to monitoring, or "VHF radio
required" as for for class G above 5000?
I think it's an error, but Australian aviation has a few too many examples of the rules saying one thing but everyone knowing to ignore them and do something different.
And when people start quoting them at you...
