Why are we still using these archaic and obscure abbreviations anyway ?


Ridiculous really that we should accept routinely having to waste time deciphering codes that there are no reason for anymore.


Yes, 'there's an app for that' but so what ?


It wouldn't make much difference to the amount of paperwork to print everything out in plain language, including Notams and it would, undoubtedly contribute to flight safety.
