This will become a hot topic in the UK next year

UK CAA are currently conducting a GNSS NPA trial which was due to end this month, but I hear is to continue to the end of the year.
I flew a couple a while back and was thrown by the Step Down Fixes (SDW) and tempo lost spatial awareness.
I agree that the presentation of distance to go from GPS and conventional RNAV is an issue that needs to be addressed.
What ever the answer is it should be adopted world wide. Over to you ICAO
