Folks,
SCOOP SCOOP SCOOP
In hearings in the Senate RRA&T, this afternoon, John McCormick, the new CASA CEO, announce that this NFRM is now on hold, and other comments sound like it is almost "back to the drawing board".
McCormick also made a number of very sensible comments about the evidence (or lack thereof) for the CTAF/CTAF(R) division, and detailed the research evidence that shows very high compliance rates with radio calls
by all pilots, regardless of whether various radio calls were "mandated".
In short, he said that there is no evidence that "mandating" improves compliance to any significant degree. Whilst reading Hansard will not be as entertaining as actually seeing this afternoon's proceedings, the transcript will be well worth a read.
What a refreshing approach to an old chestnut.
Tootle pip!!
