And are you sure there is no requirement for a mandatory radio VFR aircraft above 5000' to monitor any particular frequency? Does everyone agree?
Aren't we supposed to follow the book? It says they are supposed to carry a radio, but in terms of frequency selection, I found this... There wasn't anything specifically about class G, but what else would you be listening to if you weren't on a CTAF?
ENR 1.1 3.5
Within VHF radio coverage, pilots must maintain continuous communications with ATC when operating in classes A, C and D airspace, as must pilots of IFR flights in Class E airspace. Further, when in Class E airspace, pilots of VFR flights should monitor the ATS frequency appropriate to their area of operation.
ENR 1.1 18.3.2
b. monitor the appropriate Class E frequency and announce if in
potential conflict;
ENR 1.4 4 Table also states that VFR must be in continuous two way comms in class E.
