Faaark. The radio calls make life complicated enough but why is it so difficult just to join the circuit correctly? I would rather call joining a 5 mile final than not and then having to make a 3 mile and 1 mile call for example.
I would much rather things reverted back to the way they were previously. At least it was understandable.
I doubt these morons in Canberra that made up some of these procedures have ever actually flown an aircraft. Do they really think we can chuck around a 737 with 170 pax onboard the same as a C172 in the circuit?
