YPJT Visual Flight Guide

[QFF]

Just had a look through the updated 2009 YPJT VFG - still multiple references to "SHIPYARD" including whole pages devoted to entry & exit procedures from same.

I thought they'd changed the name to BOATYARD (anyone know why?)

Or have they reverted back?

Or do CASA need a new proof reader...

It's BOATyard now not shipyard. The change was done this year, VIA Notam. I think the current VTC still has it as SHIPyard.

It hasn't changed back and isn't likely too.

"It's BOATyard now not shipyard."

Any reason why?

[Bla Bla Bla]

More boats than ships.

[Awol57]

It was a request for change due to the occasional misunderstanding of shipyard and six south reports. Calling it boatyard removes any confusion.

[Dangly Bits]

That ain't a ship. That's a boat!

I bet that is why it was changed. Those navy types are everywhere....

I think the China Southern guys were having a little trouble with distinguishing "Shipyards" and "Six South"

[FokkerInYour12]

Through my headset they always called it ****YARD - perhaps a new open air sewerage treatment plant?

I believe the radio call guides are wrong in the new one as well.
