I don't know if the DAS is across this mob as yet, but he should be, and he should be considering using his boot to good effect.
I just submitted my personal response to CASA and it got me thinking again about the comfort or otherwise of RPTs descending below 5000' on approach if the 10 NM CTAF remains and MULTICOM is introduced - they will have to share transmission opportunities with pilots using 126.7 all over the place.
Enlarging to 20 NM negates that issue. So they fix it for the RPT and bugger the rest of us. Back to the future...MBZ's?
