I reckon the CD ROM is well done, people should actually have a look at it.
The main thrust of the new system is for pilots to use LOOKOUT as the primary way to maintain separation and not to use radio for self announcements on area frequencies. On the whole, the new airspace frees up more non-controlled airspace for use, but the onus is on pilots to behave themselves. The fact that there will be aircraft monitoring and using different frequencies in the same airspace is not dissimilar to gliders using the gliding frequencies and power aircraft listening to other frequencies. Because there is now the discouragement to self announce, maintaining listening watch will not be that helpful. Just becasue we are glider pilots doesn't mean that we excused from not being aware of the new airspace and radio procedures. Play the CD. We have to share the sky with others too!
