Yes Dick, you have been ranting and raving on about how the risk is greatest at the airport. What better risk
management than to have everybody at an airport on the same non-ATC frequency (Multicom/CTAF), or have you now changed your tune and think operating on the Area in the circuit, with ATC providing traffic info, is better?
This isn't the simple solution some seem to think it is.
Midnight, nothing will be. There is no perfect system. If you want ATC looking over your shoulder, get a second radio. If you don't, use Ozrunways to keep out of CTA and all will be well.
At least we will now know what "in the vicinity" actually means, instead of the current weasel-words introduced by Dick.
