Sunfish, the diff between amateur and professional (broadly speaking VFR v IFR) is important because we speak a different language.
Position 69dme 142 radial ABC tracking to ABCSI for the RVAV Z is a definitive position in IFR speak but gibberish to the VFR driver as is "about to cross Farmer Brown's top paddock near the sheep dip" is to me. I don't have the charts and at 4-8 miles/minute and possibly still in IMC, I don't have the time.

LB, I get what you are playing at but I've seen on many occasions TCAS symbols leap miles across the screen instantaneously, so I would not use it for separation.
