I’ve been wondering that, too. Do they have to plan ‘mini legs’ for each grid?
My understanding is that Australia now has:
- 10 GAF areas
- 9 GPWT areas (because some of the GAFS are ‘amalgamated’ for GPWT purposes), and
- 28 Area QNH areas.
Do I have that right?
I haven’t met anyone who says they asked for this change. I’m guessing it will be justified on international consistency grounds. Would be great if they applied the consistency principle consistently...
