Agreed,it's a complete shambles. Even if ICAO produces such a load of b*ll*cks, why cannot our own SRG nip it in the bud by refusing to implement it in the UK and then arguing the point with ICAO?. .In the new version of Doc 4444, there is now a requirement to specify runway crossing if implied in a taxi route - why has this not yet been included in the UK MATS Part 1? Mind you, some of the associated ICAO RTF phraseology is complete nonsense.. .Apparently, SRG have had a bit of flack, so watch this space.
