LeadSled, if you don't like our procedures, you can always go home.
If we went to the UK, you can be sure that we would have to comply with their procedures, so why don't you read the book on AUSTRALIAN procedures and whether you like them or not, comply with them.
No one is saying we have to be 100% correct 100% of the time. What we are saying, is that if you at least try and make the call as per the AIP, then it sure as hell sounds more professional than making up your own call.
It's not hard people, to have a read of the AIP and brush up on things you may not have read for the last 5 years. If this PPRuNer can do it and then apply it, so can you.
