BookEm - I'd like to add. If you look on the AIP AD-6-6 for EGCC SIDS it actually does say Honil
ey 1Y or Honil
ey 1R at the top of the plate (correct spelling
), so your arguement falls down because it doesn't say HON at top of the plate where the Pole Hill SIDs do say POL. Out of all the EGCC SID plates its only the Wallasey and Pole Hill SIDs which don't give the full name at the top. I would say it's a 50/50 split from an ATCO's point of view if they clear a/c on a Pole or Pole Hill departure. Maybe the plates need ammending to give the beacon/fix's full title.
