Heaps - Lilydale and Coldstream out to the east, Tyabb and Tooradin to the SE, Penfield out Sunbury way, Bacchus Marsh, Melton - plus I think Romsey and Riddell.

 

Then Point Cook, Moorabbin and Essendon in controlled airspace, so not available to RAAus pilots.

Hi,

 

Wow! What a great link. Thanks... My guess is that I should start looking at the green ones (CTAF?) What does the abbreviation mean, BTW?

"Common Traffic Advisory Frequency" - ie the VHF frequency for communication in the vicinity of that aerodrome.

 

Often used to describe an airfield where CTAF is in use (as distinct from GAAP, Class C, Class D).
