Hi,
Sorry to jump in but I listen to the EIDW ATC quite a bit (due to the listening restrictions in the UK) and was curious about a few things - sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm only at PPL level currently:
- What is the story with the 1X arrivals? I saw the charts for these but not sure why you can't ever be cleared for one as someone mentioned?
- Another thing I've always wondered...when you are sitting at your computer screen, do you have the RNAV waypoints (BAGSO, LIPGO, LAPMO etc.) on there too so you can monitor the aircraft as they progress towards cleared points? Or is it more a case of referring to a chart and 'knowing' where the points are?
- What's the difference between being cleared to the 'final approach fix'/'7 mile final' as opposed to being cleared to the final waypoint (ie. LAPMO for 28)? I often hear people being given the option...
