the number of times you have taken an RPT jet out of a CTAF into low-level E would be?
Bloggs,
I missed the above pearler before:
The answer is many in the US, over a 40 year period ----- and not all with the one airline, as you are probably imagining is the case. Remember, many C and D towers in the US are not H24.
In AU, without the E part, just the CTAF into G, a few times on diversions, mostly in WA.
Other small jet/turboprop (not RPT) in US, add quite a few more.
Elsewhere from a supposed D tower ( or ? when nobody is in the tower) to overlaying control of some kind, without a clearance, because no clearance was available on the ground, many times.
Tell me, Bloggs, how many time have you taken a Heavy ( as in the callsign, not AU Hi-Cap) into a strip with nothing but kero edgelights?? Which is as about as relevant a question as yours above is to the main thrust of this thread.
Being a pilot operating in the current system is not a qualification in the system design including any future system.
Tootle pip!!
