Dont you think that is a big call Dick?
If an enabled MSAW was inhibited when the pilot called established on the approach how would that have saved the aircraft at Benalla?
Mjbow,
You obviously don't fly around aerodromes with busy CTAF's - if you did there is no way you would completely endorse the NAS and it's required and recommended radio broadcasts. The frequency congestion and overtransmissions are ridculous and dangerous.
