Isn't it pretty obvious that no one takes any notice of this CASA frequency directive.
As I have stated before - there a dozens of small strips in any area and with retransmission on up to 12 or more frequencies there would be lots of calls on area frequencies on any given weekend - if the rule was complied with.
In the last six months I have flown over many small strips in the mittagong- goulburn area and seen local traffic and some taxiing aircraft . I always - as far as possible - monitor the area frequency on my second radio -as I learnt to fly before 1990 and know that the whole basis of Australian air safety depends on this!
And I have not heard one complying announcement
What is the actual fine in dollar terms for making the announcements only on the multicom or local CTAF frequency ?
