Making your life easier

Hello ATCers,

Short question concerning VFR flight plans.

How do you prefer the routing on the flight plan? In degrees and minutes or in bearing and distance from a significant point?

Or can you simply display the filed route?

Ground position.
One easily found on map.

AIP:

Significant point (2 to 11 characters)
The coded designator (2 to 5 characters) assigned to the point , or if no coded designator has been assigned, one of the following ways:

- Degrees only
- Degrees and minutes
- Bearing and DIST from a significant point

Distance and bearing.
Our system can show filed route,but still agree with confused atco,one easily found...and to add: plan your route thouroughly and plan it AROUND and not THROUGH restricted,danger etc. areas:ok:
