I am sorry that we don't seem to be able to file flight plans correctly. The last EGPD trip I did was filed as:
N0440F280 DCT AQ DCT PTH UP600 GOW/N0447F390 UN615 HON BNN2A
Is it just when you are using 16 that we get the plans wrong or are there other problems? The plans are probably long winded to avoid flow control somewhere later in the route, so I can't see them getting any shorter!!
I guess that as crew we only ever see a version corrected by someone in Flight Plans, otherwise it would have been rejected somewhere.
I am glad that there are no SIDs and STARs at Aberdeen, as it alows a high degree of flexibility which I think we all need with the complex mix of traffic there.
Anyone have an answer to my question about "Climb when instructed by radar" clearances in the light of the new RTF fail procedures?
