Reading the posts on this thread really makes me wonder.....
Fellow Aussie Ppruners;
Just what is the problem here that takes so many posts on what is a simple procedure?
When you are inbound to wherever; If it has a DME, you are 'Three zero miles (or three zero DME) DME inbound from..."direction and intentions".'
If you are using a GPS; You are ....'Three zero miles GPS inbound from..etc.'
If it is an airfield with no navaid and you are not using a GPS you are
'Three zero miles inbound from...etc.'
Someone on this forum once posted, I thought at the time somewhat unkindly, that only Aussies could get 'so anal' over trivial bits of procedure. I now can see just what that poster was alluding to.
If my post offends anyone....Tough!
