poison_dwarf,
Perhaps you could help me. I have to traverse an airspace parcel 19,500 vertical feet and laterally about 60 to 70 nm, Class E, no radar, on a regular basis.
In this parcel of airspace there are at least three possible
appropriate frequencies for the VFR pilot to monitor, as advised in the NAS2B training material.
My aircraft has only two VHF comms and on departure Class E is entered within about 2 minutes (2700' AGL). How do I manage this situation so that I can know that there is no VFR operating quite legally in Class E, that is a conflict with me? 44,000kg at 220 kias won't leave much of him/her if we hit!
As only a pilot but responsible for the safety of the aircraft and passengers, I think this situation is far more dangerous that pre NAS2B where I was flying through Class C & D and every one had to be talking on the same VHF frequency.
I may only be a pilot and not an airspace designer but I know that NAS2B is far less safe for
all airspace users than pre NAS.
