My particular favourite part is;
23. The Kent ESRI mapping system shows the entire country down to a scale of 1:50,000 which is sufficiently detailed to identify the closest aircraft to an incident.
Wouldn't a quick look at a 250k or even a 500k on a wall would be safer?
There may be hills, active danger areas, NOTAMS and other beasties out there that I suspect the mapping system might not take into consideration. Hazards that a 'trained eye' with local weather updates looking at a marked map would.
