"Fuji - getting rid of practice pans without an FI would clean up the airwaves somewhat. Changing training fix to lost wouldn't but it would at least be:
a) Honest.
b) Indicative to the CAA of the need to improve training syllabus and maps.
c) Take no more airtime that a proper Lost call. Milliseconds anway.
d) More useful to the LOST person (if you can't point to me on the map where you ar then you are lost as there is no such thing as unsure of position) as D&D will have the correct take on the situation.
Any issues regards psychology of talking to D&D need to be addressed during training."
All of that makes a great deal of sense and is a rather different take on the problem. My only arguement would now be do b), d) and the bit about "any issues .. .. .." first, which I think would go a long way to solve the problem.
