Firstly, all the best to you mob for 2009.
I started a thread on a similar subject months ago with Gladstone in mind. Since that thread you can see the difference with Rpt,Local and transiting traffic giving positions and altitudes. Not hard
The word must be widespread through Pprunne.As I stated previously, the transiting traffic and some locals are not familiar with the Rnav appr. As someone stated if pos/alt was given it would make it unnecessary for verification calls. Haven't we got more than enough calls now
What disappoints me in this thread is the "us" and them" inferences.
ForF8#ksake we are all Aviators and all started with our first flight be it yesterday or forty years ago.
Have a good and safe New Year yo'all
Frothy
