Impact on operations?
Rumour is that after the 4th of Feb one will not be able to submit an IFR flight plan if they aren't appropriately rated or the aircraft isn't appropriately equipped for GNSS use.
Hence if you will be holding a current IFR rating without a GNSS approval on it your IFR rating will in effect become redundant until such time that you get a GNSS approval. I could be wrong on this, can anyone elaborate?
I'm not exactly sure what effect this will have on NVFR pilots, however there will be implications.
Has CASA or Airservices issued a differences document/cheat sheet on this as the impact on industry is going to be reasonably significant?
