Hi GB, I do sympathise with your assertions, I was fortunate to cut my jet teeth in the London TMA so CDA's were hammered into my particularly dense skull, I think someone made a very valid point that CDA's are "not EK" until recently. I remember a particularly pointless article in the Outer Marker (remember that?) on CDA's which spent three pages reproducing the UK AIP and then finished with...."this is not current EK policy" or some such. I just disagree with the RHS focus.
Regards
TOD
