They say "removal ... associated ATC information", yet the charts will still display the freq! All the green lines have gone, yet you can still get a freq from the nearest "Dick's biscuit" (you'll understand when you see them.) RIS, approach & FW freq will be depicted the same (they are the same
) The detailed information when one sector is stacked on another in G or E airspace is gone. The sectors are still stacked, but you have only been given one of the frequencies...
The aim is, as somebody else noted, to sabotage VFR broadcasting, and perhaps also to discourage IFR broadcasting, to make everybody look out their windows in the hope this will replace the concept.
It clearly states in AIP that it is the responsibility of VFR traffic in E to avoid areas of IFR activity. Including the holding points is intended to allow you to do so. "Specific" holding points merely indicates that an IFR could actually be held ANYWHERE.
Removal of the remote areas. Well, they are still in ERSA. It really says something about NAS. There is no compelling reason to remove them, and no justification offered to remove them. It is claimed that goobers don't display them on their charts, so we CAN'T.
