Middy:
What would you do in those situations, exercising common sense and IAW AIP?
Certainly some common sense, but that seems to conflict with the AIP which does not cater for the unintended consequences (or the use of common sense) as those that pushed for this change did not/do not understand what was in place, nor conduct a safety case for the change.
As said previously, we had a simple system and now its not simple and certainly less safe.
Common sense and good airmanship should cater for most issues.
But given that there is "full industry defiance of the CASA CTAF ruling", surely there's no safety problem?
Of course, that's not really the point is it??
