Just wondering whether ATC (or Censar) would also try calling the mobile number given in the flight plan as well? If the plane's on the ground, they'd probably have better luck getting throuh that way .. (that's if they're with Telstra Mobilenet .. with Australiawide coverage )
Yep, sure do. We'll try on the radio 1st of course, but as has been said, we'd expect everything to be shutdown for the arrival, but not unknown, if the landing has been okay, for the radio to fired up to report the good news.
FYI, we also try the mobile if an acft goes 'no-com' for a while, and we've been unable to raise a response in the usual ways, just in case you've left the mobile on, and you happen to be in coverage! Long shot, but it works sometimes.
