There are good points and bad about LIDO. The clarity of some of the plates is good. In other words it is not cluttered up and easy to decipher. I do not like the format for the SIDs, with the graphics on one page and the written portion a few pages later. I know some pilots think it is good, but I find myself searching for plates in the booklet a lot of times.
One big drawback is that EK never taught us anything about LIDO. It has been self-learning because that meant they did not have to train us with the associated costs. In fact we were only given a small booklet that quite frankly is inadequate.
