The idea of GOANA is neat and it's a pity they aren't still operating. However the only time I saw them in action they appeared to have neglected doing sufficient homework. Inbound to Broome, first aircraft called at 15nm instead of 30nm and subsequent aircraft pilots were out of their depth. Their prior scenic flying around the horizontal waterfalls had resulted in them becoming strung out so each pilot as effectively on their own.
