From my point of view, what is chilling, from an Jet- RPT cum Charter Captains point of view, and there are not many jet jocks who operate from Sydney, Norfolk, Cairns, Townsville, Hamilton Island and then to Century, Phosphate, Cloncurry etc. Is that:
Dick Smith advocates that he and his happy band of ******s should be allowed to operate anywhere OCTA and monitor ONLY 121.5!!!!
I asked him, and others on this forum, to consider the implications of this. if flying from Winton to anywhere in the NT using these procedures a few months ago. Response? Zip!!
This happy band of genltemen would be flying through one of the busiest areas in Australia and according to Dick Smith, to paraphrase, " be free to listen to the radio and enjoy the view."
Dick I have honestly tried to see your point of view, but Sir, you have got it wrong.
Have the balls to admit it!
