Although 'American' date settings can be confusing (04-09-15 - is that the 9th of April or the 4th of September), what is worse is the lack of standardisation concerning Lat/Lon. For example, does 54:10:25N mean 54° 10' 25" North or does it mean 54° 10.25'N - i.e. 54° 10' 15"? Probably of interest when passing Lat/Lon values for targets close to friendly forces..... And can someone please decide whether we use N5410.25 or 5410.25N?
The UK AIP is even worse - 555419N 0033009W as the location of the UW NDB is completely ambiguous on their chart for the TALLA SID from Edinburgh, which doesn't specify which convention has been used....
