Torp
Well, clearing someone to the TOR VOR is not much use, I don't want to go to the VOR, so just give a clearance to the Center Fix for 36 or 18, there's not that much difference in TRK from far away ie 100NM+ that's usually when I get cleared there.
I accept your point, guys are putting in the CD18/FD36 becaure they are just too lazy to create a point 10NM prior to the VOR and then joining it up with the center fix. It's just sloppy.
