What do I say if I'm referencing an FMC position derived from triple IRS's with GNSS updating?
You say exactly that!
Honestly I don't care where you are deriving your distance from and I won't broadcast where I'm getting mine from unless asked. If I though we are that close and it mattered, I'll ask.
AOTW I'm with you, "GPS" was so much easier to say than "GNSS". Hell even "RNAV" was easier than "GNSS"!!
Leadie, we have had some good banter but in this instance what you say below I couldn't agree more with!
If someone makes a position report relative to an aerodrome, I'll assume:
- the position information is probably accurate, irrespective of what reference is being used,
- the position information might be 180 degrees wrong, and
- there is other traffic that's either not fitted with VHF, not using it, or on the wrong frequency.
Can we all please start up the "left" or "leaving" a cruise level or the "turns" or "turning" base/final etc debate again after this?
