For me, I have got three questions re the new procedures. Now trying to get some answers from the Help desks:

1. If I am overflying the field (or overflying near one), what altitude do I have to be at to avoid having to broadcast on the CTAF freq.

2. How do I assess wind direction when joing the 'live-side' unless I overfly the field (at fields where there is no Unicom or AWIS broadcast).

3. What circuit height do I have to be 500ft above before turning against circuit direction? My own, or the 'hihg-performance' height of 1500ft.


I belive the book answer to (1) is that I should monitor/broadcast whenever I infringe a possible RPT profile to the field (could be up to 8500ft at 35 odd miles)
