Conga/Stock 1 Yankee Mike???

[G-BPEC]

Hi,

Can any Manchester ATCOs tell me the difference between these two SIDS:

Conga 1Romeo
Conga 1Romeo Mike?

The same seems to apply to the STOCK SIDs. I've looked through the Aerads and can't seem to find any referance to them.

Cheers,

PS. Do any of you ATCers at MAN know Steve Balfour in Tower, I think? Just curious!

The Yankee Mike departures are an FMS departure trial solely used by British Midland aircraft.
It is approved on the Honiley 1R/1Y as well.
There should be no apparant difference in the flight profiles. The aircraft uses on board equipment rather than ground based navaids.

Balf is still here just not in the Tower... unless there's a VC10 in the vicinity! :)

Thanks cossack, did you see the VC10 last night at about 10? What a beauty!
