SU-GCM, apologies for the unnecessarily rude final remark in my previous post........and I hope you are right about it not happening. However as one who is very familiar with HECA, you and I know that 19 out of 20 times the approaches will be made to 05R, but to those who are less familiar it's a murphy waiting to happen. As you point out, the Notam advises the deferral of name change, however all the nav. databases are calling old 05R as 05C. What's more there actually is a blacktop runway to the right of old 05R, so why not just change the names NOW, so the runways on the ground have names that reflect their relative positions?
