Leadsled,

Big broard sweeping statements there mate! In general I agree with you, CTA/R is not rocket science at all, but why is it then it is not a mandatory part of every level/type of licence then?

There are some folk who can't cope with a quiet CTAF let alone a busy one, and they do not see the value in training to be better. So its a lost cause.
Equally amazingly, except more so, is that "flying in CTA" isn't automatically part of any normal basic flying training, as per most of the rest of the known aviation universe.
Simple hey...........well just go fix it would you please!

I am not so sure about the silly little battles. In the real world for a moment, there are a greater number of folk in the RAA who would want to entertain the idea, so why lumber the organisation that operates on exemptions, to have to provide a service that already exists. Just seems like winding up overheads for the rest for no apparent gain.

Now Frank...you are the first to bleat on here when there is $1 more expense to the bloke in his Auster/Warp Borer MkII without a radio or transponder, legislated overheads at the expense of folk like yourself. So adding CTA/R's to RAA is only going to do one thing to yours and everyone elses membership, and it certainly willnot be reduce it.
