A few thoughts
- 124.55 and 125.8 don't always retransmit.
- 125.8 is the preferred frequency north of Parramatta but this isn't indicated on the VTC (stoopid NAS)
- A CTAF arrangement wouldn't be good as there are some critical CTA steps close to the YSSY approaches and ATC need to be able to contact unidentified aircraft should an accidental violation of CTA occur.
- Position broadcasts when you're following the lanes are probably unnecessary but if you're crossing the lanes would be a good idea
- A certain Aussie entrepreneur has been known to castigate those who waffle on 125.8.
- It's no drama to call SY RADAR to ask for traffic or position advisories, whenever you think the safety of your aircraft may be compromised.
- Transponder ON/ALT code 1200 please
