THIS MUST BE A FIRST

I am bemused - I find us in agreement and write to support you.

It amazes me that the RPT guys think DTI is a safety feature coming and going from airfields and, apart from the GAAPs where one takes one's life in one's hands at times (remember the former 3 runways at YMMB) I have not had any problems at busy CTAF. Most of the MBZ I've been to could double as sleepy hollows except at RPT time.

On Fed Airshows in Qld in 2001 there were 70 odd aircraft arriving at out of the way places in about 30 minute windows and good radio plus see and be seen and correct circuit procedures meant no hassles.

Roll on the NAS but I agree that screams and sabotage are likely!
Cheers
