Narrative:
According to ICAO safety management system regulation 2009; one of the four generational components is to identify safety hazards. Why not explore and investigate the silent role of UHF and VHF communications at joint use airports? The FAA and military culture are a retarding force to changes in this area. What are the statistics for incidents/accidents in communication at tower controlled airports regarding military versus general aviation? Also; what are air carrier incidents/accident statistics at joint use airports? Indeed; languages for both project credibility; confidence and the big picture at an airport when one frequency is used.
