Just exactly how would you implement
We are all familiar with ATIS, Volmet, etc. It's about time we had an Area/TMA version that could include a range of information and instructions.....and especially the need or otherwise of the adherence to SLP's.
??
Would you have pilots listen to STAR instructions for every airport, just to get the one they need, or are you advocating a seperate frequency for every STAR arrival? We can't get an extra one or 2 frequencies that we need at the moment for controlling, never mind for admin.
Who will be responsible for updating any STAR information? The requirement for aircraft to fly at standard, slow or high speeds changes by the minute depending on the traffic situation - it's hard enough getting Traffic Managers to display the correct delay information in a timely manner!
Why de so dismissive of
TimeToMuskUp? Just because it is their first post, doesn't mean they have nothing valid to say - even you had a first post at some point!
For any pilots reading this, please accept apologies for what seems to be an inefficient system (because it is at times) - you will often be told to maintain high speed until you are level, then told to reduce to holding speed - otherwise you will either loose your place in the queue so have to hold for longer, or you will cause no end of problems and airproxs because a clump of you will arrive at the same place at the same time and level.
Not efficient by any means but the best that can happen in the airspace... the way to fix it will be for all the airline bosses to sit down and agree to coordinate flights so they don't all try to go to the same place at the same time - never going to happen due to customer requirements!!
