Please understand I don't fly that much in these hearts of darkness where this kind of weirdness flourishes.

I now see the ridiculousness to which Dick refers.

So the rule is that all aircraft departing, arriving or transiting a 'Broadcast Area' during AFIS hours must make a broadcast prior to or as soon as possible after entering the 'Broadcast Area'. The 'Broadcast Area' for YPPD is within 20 nms and surface to 8,000' AMSL.

What a joke.

This has got to be the result of a Cap'n Bloggs pet project. If so, well done Capn! Your own Nirvana with all those experienced aviation professionals pleasuring each other with all that talk.
