As long as the VFR has his radio on
Clearedtowhatever,
Why the continual inference that VFR pilots are generally law breakers.
If a VFR has a VHF fitted, they must use it ---- been the law for a long time now - CAR 166 was amended some years ago to make the intent more clear, and I believe the amendment did its job.
As to frequency, CAR 166 says something about the appropriate frequency, or words to that effect, does it not.
Of course, CASA has a controversy running about what is the right frequency, but the person responsible for that controversy has been awarded the DCM, so we now might get a sensible resolution, with which the RAPACs can agree --- ie: Back to "the law", where the frequency selection is a PIC decision, as per. CAR 166, with guidelines as per any proper advisory document.
Tootle pip!!
