Combined Traffic Advisory Frequency in Highlands

[Maoraigh1]

Any views on this? It's new to me. Copied from the Lossie AUWG 4/11/2014 minutes:
Item 9 – Combined TrafficAdvisory Frequency
13. Mr Nik Suddards introduced the concept of CTAF. This would be an AIRPROX avoidance tool used by low level rotary and fixed wing pilots operating autonomously in areas with poor communications (e.g. Great Glen).
Pilots would use the CTAF to transmit their position, height and direction of flight.
Any ac nearby would hear the transmissions and have the opportunity to react appropriately: a“Hear and Avoid” system to compliment “See and Avoid”.
Based on systems already used overseas for example in rural Alaska.
14. Introduction in northern Scotland has been proposed to the CAA and is currently under initial review however a trial period may be considered if there is sufficient support from local users. To this end Mr Suddards welcomed any support that the AUWG attendees could offer. Update: The RAF Safety Centre is co-ordinating the RAF support to this trial and has been in contact with Mr Suddards.
