I agree entirely. I recently flew an R44 back to north queensland from Bankstown in Sydney. I'd never flown out of Bankstown before (thought it was going to be all very difficult) and the ERSA (our Air Services publication which gives all the data about airports helicopter lanes etc etc ) gave specific details about the heli-lanes - stuff like track via "Michel's Patisserie".

I got on Google Earth panned in and there it was - a roof with a great big logo and the word's "Michel's Patisserie" on the roof. Planned my escape using the tilted view photo's of the Sydney suburbs and the harbour.

It actually turned out to be a very easy flight - much less difficult than flying in and out of Cairns.
