As both a glider pilot and a power pilot, (in
respect of the new procedures) it seems to me that some glider pilots are
getting concerned about nothing.
Most of the new procedures are RECOMMENDATIONS,
(the must do bits include the likes of straight in
approaches, CTAF(R) etc).
If you dont want to make the calls, don't make
them.
In the ideal world, power pilots would listen out
on 122.5, 122.7, 122.9, the relevant Area Frequency, Unicom Frequency
and CTAF frequency and glider pilots would do the same - but the worlds not
ideal. It seems easier to me - and considerably more responsible - for us
all to listen to and occasionally broadcast on the CTAF.
Surely its better to know others are in or near the
airspace you are using. At least
consider making some of the calls.
The definition of whats leagally an aerodrome
seems irrelevant.
