Interesting. Thanks for that, triadic. I’m guessing the regulatory brains trust doesn’t want the area to be confused for some kind of designated airspace different to G.
It would therefore follow that if the Capn’s talking about mandating transponders for aircraft in ‘MBAs’ the outcome would be vastly different than mandating transponders for aircraft within a specified distance of every certified aerodrome – the current equivalent of places that used to be designated ‘CTAF R’. I hope the Capn will clarify what he wants.
I vote for: ‘BATMAN’ -- Broadcast And Transponder MANdatory. If Australia’s going to uphold its laughing stock aviation regulatory reputation, might as well ‘go hard’.
