head on over to CASA website to have your say on this latest piece of genius.
i actually think it works. It gives VFR traffic in the circuit (within 3 NM and blow 1500 AGL) of an unmarked airfield a frequency to let anyone else at this location know that it is arriving/departing.
This solution doesn’t upset ATC, primarily restricts communication to the immediate vicinity because of the low level for the broadcast, and gives those flying in or out a chance to broadcast their intentions.
next step would be to allocate different frequencies to those marked CTAFs using 126,7.
Jobs done!
