resulting in a non workable half wound back system that we now have.
Seems to me to work pretty well. So what if freqs aren't on the charts overseas? Do we have to have Donald Trump running the country just because that's what happens in America??
And Flight Watch with VHF frequencies is not gone forever.
As pointed out by Ex-FSO Griffo, YOU shut down Flight Service and happily sat back as Peter ?? saved $20m per annum back in ??Space 2000. You have NO credibility when you now start complaining that you can't talk, on VHF, to your very own dedicated Flight Service Officer. You wanted VFR out of the system; you've got it.
That's why those incompetent people in CASA sent out the NOTAM stating that calls at non marked airports should be on the ATC area frequency. It's amateur hour with these CASA people.
Totally and utterly irrelevant to the thread. Or is this thread just going to end up as another general rant against everything you disagree with?
