You would be surprised how few eyes are on the airfield at some places that have RPT these days. Be it CTAF, reduced fire service, no aro or limited hours, and a ground crew who operate with next to no staff, isn’t many people around. AFP have been cut in many places with many now using local police forces.
People keep asking ‘where is the security’. Well often there simply is none or they are too busy watching the carpark to ensure people are not freeloading in the drop off areas.
