Vale Airstrip Tasmania

A good write up on The Vale Airstrip and its role in Tasmanian fire fighting this season and a great story for the promotion of GA in Australia.

Was this the strip that was causing the suggested area frequency congestion a few weeks ago? If it was someone from Airservices in conjunction with CASA should have established a temporary CTAF frequency and maybe established a temporary Danger Area around the strip given the reported number of movements. This wasn't a planned flyin, it was an emergency.

They reached a consensus decision to use 126.7 without asking :ok:

Sensable decision.

CAsA does not believe in multicom so why would they have any understanding other than their own blindly held belief in the validity of area frequency for all.

I understand that the originator of the area frequency "clarification" (not a change!) farce came from and now has gone back to hide in the RAAF!
