That should have been the ATSB summary.
there are loads of smaller airports with hardly any traffic, and there are loads of virtual towers now, where the controller is sat in a room looking at CCTV and radar screens miles away from the airport.
Sooo for CTAFs with RPTs why not have a single Australia wide virtual tower that can look after all these smaller fields at once. I understand workload could increase simultaneously at many, in which prioritise the airliners and have the others stay outside the zone until the controller can deal with it.
