MMM, I was the person who introduced the proposal for the extra recommended calls _ and yes I did that in the interest of safety.

However once you have fools trying to invent unique mandatory procedures that have never been tested or proven you end up with unforseen problems.

There will clearly be other places in Australia where these prescriptive mandatory requirements can not be safely complied with. - thats why no other country in the world has such requirements!

And yes, a pilot will have to monitor 124.55 under our rules plus give all the extra ctaf calls - impossible!
