3. A frequency we can get all the practice we want on? Oh that will be the Mil PETF will it? The calls we get from GA are totally different to those from Mil ac. Handling Mil emergencies does not keep you up to speed on dealing with some guy who is lost, has no transponder & you cant see him on radar. Or maybe you are suggesting that GA ac fit UHF to their ac & use PETF?
Perhaps the RAF could use the (large) fleet of GA aircraft it has to provide realistic training scenarios for you on the training frequency that has been provided for that purpose.
5. Yes ( yawn ) we do liase with SCATCC
and Amsterdam and Paris and Reims and Brest and Dublin and Shannon and the other agencies that monitor 121.50 outside the UK but within range of practice pans?
6. Check with B747 before Tx on 121.5. So, let me get this right.... you are now suggesting that we perhaps go out on 121.5 first & say "excuse me does anyone object if we do a PP for a couple of minutes on 121.5..."
In which order do you forsee them replying, alphabetically perhaps?
If there was no objection then there would be silence!
If there were so many objections that a list was required then it would be sensible not to proceed.
Should another aircraft tell a practice pan to stop transmitting are you going to counter that by telling the practice pan to proceed?
