That is a very long document... what did the ICAO ever do wrong?!
In the UK, we essentially seem to have done what the Irish have, their runways are marked with the single block fixed distance markers and the slightly bigger block aiming point marker. The French, Spanish and Italians don't follow the same logic, which multi-stripe distance markers. What will be the common standard?!
It raises the age old question... who pays for it? Well, obviously not the rule makers! The airports will pass it down to the airlines/consumers who buy stuff in the terminals, just like how the airlines pass the costs of EU261 down to us lowly passengers.
Bravo. We are all one Europe, and all that.
(I'm not anti EU, by the way, it just seems stupid that everyone else in the world is more than happy with ICAO, then the Europeans decide it's not good enough... just like that, it's as if they've got nothing better to do).
