IFR tech q's
G'day guys,
I would like clarification on these two IFR questions;
1. An IFR aircraft is broadcasting when taxiing at an ALA airport within a MBZ area (ie. It is within the 15 nm radius of the MBZ) when giving a taxi report on either the MBZ frequency or 126.70 for the ALA (CTAF) what do you say since you are also in a MBZ environment? Do you broadcast on 126.70 for the CTAF, then broadcast on the MBZ frequency? What shall the taxing report format include in it?
2. On an IFR category flight you cannot contact centre in your taxiing call when you are trying to establish known IFR traffic in your area. Because VHF/HF communications are not available on the ground. Assuming hypothetically it is full cloud day, (ie solid) IMC 300’ ft AGL off the ground, are you permitted to take off into IMC, without having established IFR traffic with ATC, because you can’t due to fact that VHF centre communications can only established lets say at 2000’ ft for the example (Similar to area’s in outback WA,NT,SA). What do you do in this scenario? Is there an AIP or JEPP reference to this question?
Many thanks,
DW.
