Thanks 30W - (eventually) downloaded but I cannot see how it can help with FIR 'entry' level at LIFFY nor the step-down altitudes thereafter? Have I missed something?






LIFFY -EGNM

LIFFY MC 245 L975 WAL DCT POL DCT LBA EGNM RAD EG4039

LIFFY 245 660 UL975 LYNAS L975 WAL DCT POL DCT LBA EGNM RAD EG4039


The RAD does not really help either. What we need is a ball-park 'level FLXXX by YYY' at major waypoints eg LIFFY into London FIR, 'level FLXXX by 45 before POL' inbound EGNM etc.


Nice idea for STARS, BTW! Then maybe we could get these gates printed on them. I cannot believe it is necessary for ATC to 'fiddle' with them so much that they cannot be issued.
