yep.. my point exactly..
The same rules apply.. I dont need to join the cct at all.. I can conduct a straight in approach in anything from a "hankerchief" to the sapce shuttle.. so long as i broadcast, give way etc etc..
and yes it is by 10 nm for broadcast etc .. as already stated I intend to do that but in scurvys opinion its "... too little too late unless you are flyin' a handkerchief!
So which one is it... I join base and get shot down for being a reckless rule breaker... I broadcast/listen at 10 nm as per the rules and Im recless anyway !!!
