I do worry that there will be low hour ppls that want to fly, get their flight plan approved, but then are so concerned about going off track that they spend the whole flight head down looking at their GPS and IPADs.

Pudocs post shows how much pressure this will add to new PPLs and those who dont fly too often - I'm sure there are going to be a lot more with this view - it will also add pressure in the cct (people not wanting to extend down wind or orbit to avoid conflict, for fear of going outside the cct boundaries).

I'm at Headcorn and am going to fly South of the Zone until I see how things progress - I really dont want to fly North only to find I can't get back because Atlas cancel my Flight Plan. Will see how things go around the cct and the South tomorrow...
