I havent seen the new charts yet, has anyone looked at the steps to see if there is an issue for RPT on descent into airports where Class A overlies Class C? (i.e 747 descents into Sydney etc). Is it going to only be an issue for descent into Class D 'Airspaced' airports?
Some other points:
- ICAO specifies max 250 below 10000 in Class C, D, E, F and G (i.e anywhere). Why hasnt this been carried over? It must surely help just a little bit in a head-on separation scenario?
- The Military low jet route issues is covered in the US by publishing IFR and VFR low jet routes, and displaying them on all the Low charts. You are required to 'book' a route for a specified entry and exit time' which is then used to alert other aricraft. You have no route flexibility in the US system.
