RAAus fully support and endorse this proposal from CASA regarding use of MULTICOM at uncharted aerodromes and encourage members to submit their support on the <https://www.vision6.com.au/ch/48209/46txd/2533248/ae09d6329.html> CASA website. For clarity, we provide some definitions and a plain English explanation of the change below. 'In the vicinity" of an aerodrome noted on a chart (as defined in CAAP 166-1 (4)) as a horizontal distance of 10 nm from the aerodrome reference point and at a height above the aerodrome that could result in conflict with operations at the aerodrome. This allows for parachute or aerobatic operations above the aerodrome. 'In the circuit area' of an uncharted aerodrome (as defined in the CASA consultation document) as a horizontal distance of 3 nm from the aerodrome to a height of 1,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). This allows for circuit joining and circuit operations at the uncharted aerodrome. The proposal is for pilots to use MULTICOM 126.7 when operating 'in the circuit area' of uncharted aerodromes. If operating at a CTAF marked on a chart, the relevant frequency provided from ERSA should be used 'in the vicinity' of the aerodrome. At other times, bearing in mind the majority of pilots, other than aerial application pilots do not generally operate below 1500 feet AGL, the area frequency should be monitored and used. Members are strongly encouraged to submit a response, as CASA will assess the implementation of this proposal based on the number of responses received. Consultation closes 14 May 2018.
