Hey TBT, this part:
Good thinking Blip. A "D" Class aerodrome is basically like a GAAP aerodrome and you don't need an taxi clearance there. Probably heaps more movements at a GAAP too. Does a Taxi Clearance for a VFR flight give the Tower controller time to draw your outbound track on a map or something? Nope. As far as they are concerned, you get no real service apart from Take-Off Clearance and let them know when you are out of the airspace. Umm am I missing something?
I don't wish to be simplistic but flying is a simple game until we start putting unessesary restrictions on the act of aviating.
I suggest you re-read Blip's post S-L-O-W-L-Y .
Re public insults, do the words 'brain dead morons of the AFAP/ALPA/Civil Air' ring any bells, or is that your way of expressing affection and admiration?
