Maastricht UAC : " Direct Karlsruhe or Tango ".
Dear PPRuNers,
Since some days, Maastricht UAC, Brussels sectors, uses the instruction :
" XXX1234, Direct Karlsruhe or Tango " for trafic bounding to southeast, through Germany.
Despite those VORs are on the same axis, that's a curious manner to give a direct routing.
And several time, pilots are not acknowledge the instruction... may be to early (or surprised) to know what is set in their flight plan... and if acknowledge, that's again a "Direct Karlsruhe or Tango" without the choice done.
In addition of any comments about those procedure... is the flight plan knowledge of Maastricht system so short after the boundary ?
Happy to read you,
UAC48.

As you may know or not know, since December we have a new Flight Data Processing System. In the old system we were able to see whether a flight was going via either KRH or TGO. In the new one, we only see the official filed routing ntil ABUKA. Therefore we know the flight isn't going via BOMBI but via TGO/KRH
Somehow in the development phase this was either overlooked or deemed irrelevant.
Operationally there is no difference for us if an aircraft flies from KOK to TGO or KRH, there is only like a 2 degree difference.
I always use "direct TGO or KRH, whichever is in your flightplan"
Hope this helps...
