Lat & Long format to change
I note in a draft for an entry in the May ERSA that the format for display of Lat and Long is changing from Sxx.yy.y Exxx yy.y to xxyyzzS xxxyyyyE. I understand that this change is to follow ICAO Annex 15 and was outlined in AIC H37/18 published in November.
Both formats are used within the industry, however I don't know if all GPS units accept the changed format? Further I don't recall any discussion or notification of the change or consultation taking place? Maybe the light was off when this came up!
Or is it another example of Airservices not consulting?
