I notice CASA is planning to solve the enormous CTAF problem, but the text that Mr Carmody has sent out in his recent newsletter says:
“The use of 126.7 MHz for uncharted aerodromes will only be a recommendation and single-user aerodromes/ALAs may still use the area VHF frequency where airmanship dictates this is appropriate.”
Surely this will lead to a greater chance of people being on a different frequency in the circuit area of the same aerodrome? Has CASA come up with this offer so they don’t offend anyone? That is, you can go to the multicom if you want to, or you can remain on the area frequency if you want to – transmitting and potentially blocking out important air traffic control instructions.Has this happened because CASA is trying to make decisions on “votes”, prejudices and human resistance to change – rather than using science and proven safe systems from around the world?
