When on The Arrivals freq do you automatically change freq when established on the ILS because you've heard prior traffic transferred to the Twr?
Of course not, that'd be silly. But at many places it IS normal to switch from ground to tower automatically when ready (or "fully ready" as you hear around these parts...) and also from tower to ground when exiting too. Or from tower to Dep. All without being told to.
Since I have yet to see a real live copy of the local CAOs, I's sometimes hard to know what is actually mandated here, R/T-wise.
Of course, none of this negates the fact the local process is painful and a waste of time and air-waves.
Still, thanks for helping to explain the method to the madness. I guess the short answer is, there's a manning problem so no dedicated ACD and GND freqs for the time being hey?
