Hadagutful of ignorant fools
Dear Hadagutful, your ignorance is the very thing that is helping to drive the whole NAS issue. Under stage 2C of the NAS all mbz's will become CTAF's with NO MANDATORY requirement to carry a radio. Straight-in approaches will be allowed by no radio aircraft, so light aircraft and heavy jets will be sharing a tiny amount of airspace with no guarantee of communication at all. It is all very well for Dick to bandy about figures of $5000 for non compliance, however the thing he neglects to add is that fining people is a moot point as they are not required to carry a radio anyway.
Unfortunately the people you mention from CASA and Airservices do not concur with the NAS, however they are not permitted to voice their concerns due to the political pressure placed upon them from Anderson's office and his proxy Dick Smith. Why on earth did they place a moritorium on 2b if they all believed it to be a beneficial move.
The only group of people to delight in the changes are AOPA and that in itself is an indictment of the system.
Check your facts mate, you should at least do us all the courtesy of that before posting.
