Yair Bandalot . Definitely VFR should be monitoring and answering four frequencies in our Australian system. Only way to achieve a successful safety outcome .
Those stupid Americans with 30 times the amount of traffic are ICAO compliant and don't even have a radio requirement for VFR in E and G.
Four frequencies against none. No wonder we are a leader in the world in red tape , complexity and bureaucracy.
And it's generally those in the industry who want and support this additional complexity . No understanding of copying the most proven system in the world.
I note that most of the members of RAPAC who want the simple US type CTAF system for the frequency of non mapped airports still want the 1950s ATC frequency boundaries on the charts here in an attempt to keep the extra complexity and resist any change to the system they were taught on.
