Miscellaneous - Other involving a Fokker B.V. F28 MK 1000, VH-FKD, Ballina, NSW on 7 June 1993

The captain complained of an instance where Brisbane Flight Service passed so much traffic to the aircraft during the taxiing phase and during the takeoff that the crew could not monitor the mandatory traffic advisory frequency (MTAF) adequately. All the traffic was assessed by the flight crew on the basis of the planned track but an amended clearance requiring a different track was issued when the aircraft had reached 500 feet soon after takeoff.
