- 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...
This morning, NAIPS seems to be working, but with the old format forecasts. Is this right?
This is incompetence on a grand scale.
And the NOTAM this morning is a joke. It’s pretty much saying don’t submit flight plans electronically and go to the BOM wed site for weather.
I don’t think I have seen such disruption / incompetence in 40 years. I thin’ this eclipses the CASA part 61 implementation debacle, the CASA ELT implementation debacle and the CASA ADSB implementation debacle.
This ought to be front page news. Where are the journalists who troll this site when you need them?
