Just goes to show the "professionalism" of the people who fly though the lanes, eh?
That was my initial thought, but then I thought we might just as easily say: ‘Just goes to show the “professionalism” of the people who do the quality control on the maps and information contained in the VTC, and of the people who should have published, but have yet to publish, a NOTAM resolving the discrepancy.’
If the AIP and ADF ATC systems are creaking at the seams, due to insufficient resources rather than a lack of ‘professionalism’ of individuals in those systems, perhaps individual pilots are entitled to some slack as well. Although I wouldn’t do it, I can understand why some pilots might plan and operate against the map information alone, in the absence of a NOTAM correcting that information. As it turns out, they would be operating in accordance with the intended limits.
