Mr Lookleft, I can only say that from your claim, 'that' service is hardly 'professional'...?
Pertinent ( conflicting) traffic, and weather (if no ATIS), should all be transmitted in a 'professional manner' - clipped (if necessary, due traffic) and accurate.
It IS a 'Flight Information' service.....(FIS)...Yes..??
Cheers
What is the distance Lismore / Ballina?
15nm or thereabouts?
Then, a report '4nm E of Lismore' puts the Jab. approx 11 / 10nm from Ballina, and descending inbound?
Is the CTAF at 10nm Ballina big enough to give time to give traffic?
If a Jet RPT calls at 10nm.....2 1/2 - 3 mins..??
The old 'AFIZ' call at 30nm gave about 7 mins for Jet traffic to be assessed and passed.
Just Sayin'......
