What a load of bollocks. In NZ, even in Class G airspace, aircraft are handled similar to the procedures that "No Further Requirements" posted. Under IFR when in radar coverage you are monitored by control, and outside radar coverage you are required to report at all compulsory rep. points to CH Info or the applicable ATS unit as per the FISCOM chart in the AIPNZ. I have before forgotten a reporting point when operating out of radar coverage and I had CH Info calling me within mins of my ETA at the point.
- Glass G = Information/SAR service provided
- TIBA = For when the s hit hits the fan.... (Severed comms link/ATC centre evacuated/lack of staff at ASA)
