EMA Daventry SIDs
Is it me, or...??????
I don't use SIDs as a basic PPL, but I heard EMA giving departure instructions to aircraft last weekend. They referred to Daventry 2N, so, out of curiosity I thought I would have a look at what that SID actually required the crew to do.
When I looked at the Daventry SIDs I noticed that EME and EMW seem to be on the wrong side!! The EME seems to be on the Western side of the airfield, and the EMW on the Eastern side.
The departure instructions for R27 also refer to flying out towards EME instead of what I would have assumed would be EMW, and vice versa for R09 Daventry 2P.
As I said I don't use them myself but I can't understand the logic behind this! Is it a terminology thing that I don't understand, or are the SIDs wrong??? Surely something that basic would have been spotted by now?
Would appreciate someone in the know clearing this up for me!
Thanks,
Mark
