velloo,
can't believe we didn't bring this up the last time, but the klia atis range from the east, has from day one been FAR WORSE than the szb atis range. from day one, the assumption we had to make was that it was somehow affected by the geographical location of kul, since we knew that it's equipment was far superior to szb.
but it definitely is true that the transmissions are only picked up far too late or close. in fact, i know for sure a lot mh guys resorted to, listening out on 132.6, hoping to catch some other guy reading back their star clearance. that's after we gave up on requesting it from sin atc. but i totally agree, that foreign flights would end up having to ask sin ,if proper planning was to be achieved before their descent.
yes, i totally think something should be done about this, more so since it's such a basic thing....
by the way, how does someone go about the process of joining atc in malaysia, present times?
