I think, WWW, that CM was refering to some more substantial additional track miles further up North, on the the Scottish routes. But seeing as the VOY situation has been brought up, why are crews not being encouraged to avoid additional vectoring/increased risk of collision, by using the FAMBO route? The Southern MDA was specifically designed (Lower limit of D323 D&E of 25,000ft) to allow GAT to arrive & depart NT/NV whilst avoiding the Vale of York AIAA.
  • Are crews aware of the FAMBO route?
  • Are the ATCOs (Mil/NT/NV) aware of the FAMBO route?
  • Could more be done to publicise the FAMBO route?
  • Is the FAMBO route more trouble than it's worth?
