So can someone tell me about this 2 minutes prior to inbound point call requirement.
If i'm on an IFR plan, on descent into Bankstown from inside CTA, do i have to call the TWR 2 minutes prior to the inbound point?
Half the time on descent into Bankstown coming down the Watle4 arrival at 220kts, we're lucky to get below 3000ft by 2RN, and then get flicked straight to the TWR as we go over the top of the mast.
If there is a hefty westerly blowing, 2 minutes prior to 2RN could be anything up to 10-15NM west of the mast, and still up at around 6-7,000ft (which puts us well inside CTA). I'm sure Sydney Departures are going to be happy if i change freq to BK TWR to give this approaching 2RN call.
