LJ101, having done the job, I know full well the issues of a full replan, my point is that 85% is exactly that, it is not always going to work. We frequently had to drop the % at the planning stage to get the plan to work but nobody knew, we just accepted there was a higher risk the weather might catch us out. TBH though, the risk of a replan was higher was from aircraft unservicability.
Working with paper charts etc, the burden is increased due to the replanning workload of redrawing maps, recalculating limiting fuels etc. The beauty of the integrated computerised system is that you don't have any of that, you just press replan and get on with it. You can even print out the charts for the receivers!
Beags, you can collect your £5, but you had better be quick!!
