just to confuse me more when i’m flight planning! Some of those plogs are gonna have to be changed!

OK thanks Wysi, I had a basic understanding of RNAV, and the fact that the airways were designated accordingly, I just don’t see why all the designations have to change again!

Thanks Mark. In days of old, airways had beacons at each end and at various points along their length for aircraft to navigate by. With the advent of Inertial Reference Systems, Hyperbolic Navigation and Global Positioning Systems it is now possible to fly routes without reference to local beacons and this is referred to as RNAV (Remote Navigation, if my memory serves me well).

I’ve found out a bit more: They are coming in in November, and are something to do with RNAV procedures which I didn’t quite understand. Something to do with Non- RNAV designated airways and RNAV designated airways!

Thanks Andrew, I wasn’t aware there’s going to be a change. I’m sure it’s something to do with european harmonisation or something like that. It had to be time to change as we were all just getting used to how it was before!!!

Grrrrrrr! What is the point in that? Surely it will just serve to confuse EVERYBODY!
