I had one of those moments down at the confectionary aisle at Coles this morning ...
IF, the ASA-proposed Unicom Pluses had access to Notam and Met product (as proposed in my February post), they could provide on-demand FIS to anyone within VHF range. That would take a lot of pressure off the ATCs as Flightwatch was shut down.
Bing!Bing!Bing!
Is that what all this is about? Are the ASA Unicoms being setup as a control/mitigator for the inherint risks in closing Flightwatch?
There had to be a reason
