Any chance of a straight answer to a couple of direct questions, Leadsled?
Arm,
Too easy, how about just complying with CAR 166 as appropriate, and the "Rules of the Air" in general, in the full knowledge that it is Class G, with all that that implies.
And, of course, using common sense, which many of you want to dress up as as some kind of "secret pilot's business" called "airmanship".
But never kid yourself that there is any "separation assurance" in Class G airspace. The nonsense I hear coming from cockpits of certain regional carriers absolutely astounds me at times, ignorance broadcast for all to hear. Top of the list is effectively demanding self assumed priority because they are "RPT".
There is one bloke (not a Regional Captain) who is always about 10 miles behind the aeroplane he flies, but he is really a great ace at procedures, regularly making a 10m inbound call entering downwind. All the "boxes" have been ticked, and a complete waste of time for somebody trying to get a handle on the traffic in the area.
Tootle pip!!
