10W - excellent topic, loads of discussion material. However, I have to agree to disagree on you r descent profiles on the plates. They might be fine for a total R/T fail, but, to take GLA, the various alt constraints are very rarely applied. Now this might not matter in some cases, but if I plan to be at LANAK at 70 (I think it is - sorry , don't have the plates with me) then I will be mega low for an approach to 05 - requiring fuel, time and noise. So why can't we have 'realistic' approach (or departure) profiles depicted on the plates?
Sorry to be a bit stroppy - but I think it is a valid point.
