You clearly have no understanding of how the disciplined NAS works.

I have never said a pilot cannot speak directly to a controller. I said a pilot must not make announcements on ATC frequencies. Don't you see the staggering difference?

By all means call ATC to make a request- say for flight following. Just don't make announcements such as taxiing and circuit calls on frequencies that are also used for ATC separation purposes.

No wonder our system is half baked and ATC just turned off the alarm as those six people at Benalla headed to their deaths.
