I thought I posted this in ATC. Am I going mad....or was it moved?
I
did post this in ATC.
did, did, did, did
Last night it
was in Rumours and News.
was,was,was
Now, it's here back in ATC again.
Are you mods messing around in my brain? Do you think that if you keep the pressure up you are going to drive me to the top of a water tower with a high powered rifle or summat?
What's going on?
If you do move it I wish you would annotate it as such...if you didn't then the server is in a worse state than we thought!
Second, it's a most peculiar NOTAM that doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
It's all to do with recent legislation and creating safety zones under where SEPs (not SETs for some reason) fly. In this particular instance they have displaced the threshold for SEPs, thus making the precision approach unsuitable for SEPs, meaning that SEPs have to do non-precision approaches, meaning that they are much more likely to crash on the very garden shed that this whole nonsense is designed to protect (no, really, it
is about a garden (though I don't know whether there is a shed in it, truth be told)).
I am loathe to criticise airport managements (except in the case of Wolverhampton, which I am happy to criticise all day and all night ig given half the chance) but the team at Exeter do seem to have taken a crassly stupid and potentially self-destructive decision in this case.
I hope no-one dies before they realise it.
