Since then due to the use of worldwide databases e.g. in FMS, flight planning software etc.
I could never train one of my navs to figure that I wanted to go to Coffs Harbour not Christchurch when I entered "CH" even thought Coffs was just down the track, not across the ditch.

It was always a hoot to report position in Irian Jaya as we passed Fak Fak
It was even better to say "On the ground - Fak Fak"
