How SFIS didn't speak up when a Dash went head to head with a 737?
How SFIS is a confusing procedure that makes pilots think they are getting a controlled airspace level of service and traffic awareness, and don't need to communicate like they would on a normal CTAF.
How the CTAF is congested as hell with calls from Ballina, SFIS, Lismore, Casino and Evans Head.
Just put in a control tower and stop this hybrid CTAF/CTA nonsense. Isn't Mangalore next?
Sometimes it feels like getting blood from a rock here on pprune, I shouldn't expect anything different.
Anything you can give mate, how your operator handles it and what you use at mitigating tools to help not go head first into a PA44 doing a circling approach in VMC 1inop just cause?
Is there any reports or atsb submissions on these instances?
