Capt Bloggs ; And there we have it. Nicely set-up, programmed & followed with great satisfaction.But what if you didn't programme quite as precisely as you should have done.
Slowjet, I never even remotely suggested that this or any other NPA should be "programmed" ie built by the pilots. "Build Your Own" approaches are banned here for good reason.

I'm sure the tech-heads tried to have a field-day with the gizmos when they first came out, and good on you for introducing rules to stop them. To suggest, however, that I would contenance anything of the sort is wrong. get it out of the database or do it with raw data. Simple.

I was merely responding to the claim that "modern technology has made NPAs a recipe for disaster."
