When will the powers that be sit up and listen to us Pilots. After all, we are the ones that have to read and translate the pages of information given to us.
I am yet to fly with anyone who thinks that the current format is the best it can be.
During my flight this morning the comment was made regarding a Mod to Sev turbulence sigmet that the grid references that are provided are not appropriate as they need to be plotted on the chart to see if our track will inflict this zone. Once again, something that takes a good deal of time during the pre-flight. Would it not be more user friendly if the sigmet read area bounded by towns A B C D and E.
I think it is fair to say that there is no single solution that will please everyone, but I do believe that if the system doesn't please anyone, then it needs to be altered.
