End date now September, however I hear that a number of RAAF ATCs have resigned and will be starting with AsA...

[VHOED191006]

Investigation has been discontinued.

I can’t find the bit in the report ‘The ATSB is becoming increasingly concerned around the use of CTAF and TRA procedures across large scale areas in Australian airspace, an urgent review is currently underway’

Nowhere to be seen indeed. The "will continue to monitor for any related occurrences that may indicate a need to undertake a further safety investigation" part of the notice is akin to the twaddle you hear when you're on hold with a company's call centre.

Why would they? That separation looked fine by me. Just another day flying a jet in a ctaf? Surely safer than having Darwin ATC involved? Third world Oztralia yeah? Any clown flying with wifi who doesn't pay $60 / year for Flight Radar is mental.
