Anyone know why this procedure was suddenly withdrawn late last night "ON CIVIL AVIATION SAFTEY AUTHORITY DIRECTION"?
I recall the procedure first going in some 10 years ago, I
think designed by CASA staff when instrument procedure design was with them. The design function was later transferred to AirServices.
From industry briefings the procedure was due to be deleted and replaced by an RNAV air route at the end of this year anyway, due to the SY VOR being shut down next year.
So what caused the sudden action?
