when operating in VFR practice areas, VFR routes established for air tour operations, and high-volume traffic environments
Is anyone arguing against the use of radio in those situations?
I’d merely observe that when it is prudent to make a call, it would be better (and safer) if it were concise and standard. I’ve made this plea before: Please note everyone stooging around VFR that you are allowed to say this:
“Kickatinalong traffic, Jizzler Alpha Bravo Charlie is one two miles South, inbound at three thousand five hundred, circuit area at one seven, Kickatinalong.”
..instead of this:
“Kickatinalong traffic this is Jizzler Alpha Bravo Charlie. I’m currently one two nautical miles South of the field, inbound at three thousand five hundred feet and estimating the circuit area at seventeen minutes past the hour, Kickatinalong traffic.”
The first version conveys exactly the same information as the second, without clogging up the airwaves for as long.
